I use these keyboard short-cuts constantly:

Reply to Sender: Ctrl-R
Reply to All: Shift-Ctrl-R
Forward: Ctrl-F
Mark as Read: Ctrl-Q
Move: Shift-Ctrl-V
Goto Folder: Ctrl-Y
New E-mail: Shift-Ctrl-M
New Contact: Shift-Ctrl-C

You can make Outlook display the keyboard short-cut in the screen tip of each toolbar button:

1. Right-click in the Toolbar area
2. Select Customize…
3. Select “Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips
4. Close

Yes it’s nice that the Google Calendar sync is easy, but quite frankly it’s got a poor featureset.

It doesn’t support more than one calendar, so only your primary (name) calendar is synced. It doesn’t support any categorisation/tagging of the items.

However the nice feature is the 2-way sync – something I couldn’t get working in the technically superior RemoteCalendars – especially if you’re happy to use google calendar as your primary means of sourcing data (I only sync to outlook to sync onwards to my phone, for example)

Remotecalendars supports multiple calendars (any iCal type, not just Google) and can categorise them automatically in your outlook display.

Outlook task management remains a huge opportunity - only 1% of users actually use the built in task capabilities of Outlook. ActionThis was developed with this in mind, comprising a rich Outlook client and a funky website. Have a look at http://www.actionthis.com.

I use Xobni as well. But the best I’ve seen so far is ClearContext. Xobni and CC together is awesome. I’m also testing Tungle for calendar, that is looking pretty cool.
