More on Syncing.

I just don't know why this is hard for everyone to do. Companies like PALM have been doing it forever between Outlook and the in PALM databases. Why is this hard for everyone else?

I carry one VISTA notebook. Sometimes I boot it into Ubuntu (I'd love to live here but...). I have a desktop machine at home in an office, and my wife has one in the living room. I carry a Windows Mobile device (this one is very, very bad, but it does work with email).

All of these locations need access to my calendar. I have tried everything and it does not take long and duplicates start to show up. I finally had to kill scheduleworld and funambol from all my machines. It started great, but soon duplicates started to show up.

Now I'm trying to tie my world together with Plaxo. We'll see. They offer a $49.95/year service that does such amazing things as "removes duplicates". Why is this an extra feature? I'm going to try it without paying for that feature. Why? I'm a teacher, I do not have $49.95/year to blow on this.

Common folks, can't someone write a client/server solution to tie together and online calendar like google calender, and offline calender like outlook, and a carry it around calendar like WinMobile. Google should be all over this.

I'll let you know how plaxo works. It looks very close, but the price for the extra is just too much.
