[Cialug] Replacing a Palm

[Tim Wilson]

I have an iPhone, but no Mac, so I have to use iTunes on Windows to sync
everything to and from it.  There are choices as to what to sync the data
with, the default for address book is Windows Address Book.  But, I think I
could sync it to my GMail account if I wanted.  But I prefer to keep my
phone contacts separate from my e-mail contacts.  If I want a contact
shared, I'll do it myself.  As for calendars, I have several calendars on my
iPhone, including my Google calendar and other Google calendars.

Bryan, which apps are you using?  Maybe contact me off-list and we can share
the list of apps.
