Google sync with Blackerry

I have been struggling for a couple of months with the sync on my Mac and Blackberry – I had an upgrade from Orange couple of months ago and my missing sync software stopped working. I looked at Google Calendar over the weekend and discovered that it works great with the Orange build I’m currently on. I continue to be impressed with the ease of integration Google mobile applications have with the Blackberry. In my view this bodes well for the Google Phone, as they just seem to get it (and make it work).

Whizzy Skyhook Wireless solution surprises

I just upgraded my sons ipod touch the other day with apples recent software update. One of the additions to the pack is maps, which has a location finder. I had no idea how it worked (it does not have any GPS) and expected it to give an error message, not lock to our location in 2 seconds. Amazing – after doing a quick search on the web I find that it is using a technology from skyhook wireless. Check them out – its a very clever solution, and one I think has some major opportunities in urban mobile technology. I’m also almost enjoying the mail and ical integration, as my blackberry, which I love, just is not cutting it for me with a cable sync to my Powerbook. I think I have become a sync junkie, and am considering a switch to the iphone if I can’t debug the current solution.
