But the biggest problem with it (at the time) is that I had no way of entering info on my computer (I didn’t use Outlook) and transferring to the iPhone. And it looked like there was no app that could handle the To Dos for the iPhone. Google hasn’t quite gotten there yet.

It started with a Palm pilot, then a Handspring Treo, then a couple of Blackberrys. I’m a Mac user, so it always seemed to be difficult to get most of my life syncing. It was always a “one-off” or “hack” method of doing things. I tried Daylite, for my small business, which worked great, but for a non-techie, it would be a mess trying to configure your router to access your database.

So I finally went to Google this year. I have a Mobile Me account as well, but have found that Web-based in how I need to go. I use Mozy.com for backup, Google for email, calendar, docs and I’m syncing my iPhone. Also moved to using 5pm as our planning and task management tool. So far, I can access everything on any computer I’m at, or on my iPhone. I have a much better feeling about having life in order now

Thanks for the contact backup tip using Plaxo. I had a Plaxo account, but didn’t see the need to utilize it, until now.

Use http://www.soocial.com and it keeps them all in sync. It backs up all your contacts as well

On the topic, backing up everything in my life is critical! But it’s also been a pain!

Google’s made my life 10x easier with Google Sync for Blackberry. My contacts are constantly updated and I then import them from Gmail to Vista’s crappy Address Book. I also make constant backups of the Blackberry itself with Blackberry Desktop.

I use Google Sync for my calendar and tasks as well because Blackberry + Outlook do funny things like email everyone invited to a meeting or event. Embarrassing.
