Another great example of how being lazy can reap great rewards

Last year I got really obsessed with the idea of making my google email contacts list, my phone list and my desktop address book all sync together. I couldn't find a simple to use free application that would do all of this for me. For a while I was using Spanning Sync to keep calendars in sync. I had a Nokia N95, my desktop machine is a mac and my online life is mediated by Google. I thought about expending energy to write my own solution, and would think about it from time to time, but today I am happy to announce that I needn't have bothered. Now with my iPhone and <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html">Google mobile sync</a> everything seems to just work, at least for the time being. I'm pretty happy about this right now.
