Google Sync (Beta) for your iPhone

Google Mobile - Sync

Beta of course. Looks pretty cool if you don't already have an exchange account setup. Still no push email, just cal and contacts.

If I didn't already have an exchange account via work, I would set this up in a heart beat.

Nuevasync already does this.

This is native via Google. From other users experiences so far, it seems to work better than Nuevasync.

And now google does it directly so Nuevasync isn't really needed


Still no push gmail email, although I'm kind of glad you don't need to setup the full sync to get push gmail. I use exchange for my work email and keep all my contacts synced this way as well. So if the only way to get gmail push email was to setup this I would be left in the cold.

I wonder what will happen to Nuevasync now? I'm going to stay with them for now, at least until Google can sync more than 5 calendars.

I would imagine that this is the beginning of the end for them.

Hey Jamesus, are you jailbroken? if you are, I heard there is an app on Cydia that allows multiple Exchange accounts simultainiously (sp?)

Yes I am jailbroken and no I haven't heard of this app. Do you have any ideas? I tried searching 'exchange' and didn't see anything that would match this.

Just set this up on my girlfriends iPhone. Works great. Good job Google!
