Given that I have two laptops (Windows XP for work and a MacBook for personal use) and two smart-phones (Blackberry Pearl for work and Nokia N70 for personal use), keeping everything in sync is a nightmare. Ideally, I’d like Google Calendar and GMail to be the ultimate repository of my contacts and calendar, and that everything else would sync with that.
