Default Where are we at now with Google apps? Can Google apps bring BES functionality to BIS?

Please Login to Remove!

People all over the place are making use of Google aps..

Even if they don't ever LOOK at Google itself

People are using it to re direct mail... and as a stepping stone link to sync calendars...

And now Google just added a Task element (beta via Google Labs, adds onto Gmail) check it out.

So personally, I find all this trickery of linking one app to another, then to another.. Facebook, twitter, tweet, jot, whatever.. All rather hard to follow.

So I am apealing to Google fans to spell it out for me..

Can I bring some sort of BES style sync to my Calendar, Mail, address book, tasks etc - by making clever use of google?

Or is it all still 'semi working'?

Could I operate several business emails on my BB via Google? Any one doing it? How is it working out?

You might say why not just go for BES?

I would say I am a Mac user and not keen to abandon all my Mac apps - to use an outdated Entourage which is the 'poor cousin' of Outlook.

I have hopes the new mac Snow Leopard might bring some sync joy..

That's my mac-centric story anyway..

But in the meantime..

What are you getting done with Google?

And how are you doing it?

Many thanks in advance..
