I suppose you could accomplish it all with Plaxo. As far as contact management goes Plaxo is hands down the best. That said, I don’t much care for Plaxo’s implementation of calender and tasks. I’ll freely admit I’m a Google Fanboy so I religiously use Google Calendar. Finally RTM can’t be beat for task management. It’s simple, yet extremely powerful. Why Google doesn’t have a task manager is beyond me. Hopefully they end up buying RTM!

If I was looking for an all in one solution I’d go with Microsoft Exchange. I know you wanted to avoid Lookout (Outlook) but at least for now it’s the best for centralized two-way sync of your information. For a good hosted Exchange service try Mailstreet.com - I’ve used them in the past and they are really good. For push capability use Good Technologies service (which Mailstreet offers).

I’ve since switched to an iPhone. So at the moment I’m not using Plaxo or OggSync. (no iPhone sync for either yet) But just today RTM introduced a version of their service thats optimized for the iPhone. I’m hoping that Plaxo joins the iPhone bandwagon soon. Until then there are a few Google Calendar sync solutions for the iPhone that I need to look into like Spanning Sync or SyncJe which allows over the air (wireless) syncing of your iPhone contacts, calendar, and notes.

Well, it seems I’m also an iPhone fanboy.

Did I even help?

Doesn’t Plaxo do everything in terms of online task, contact, and calendar management? Isn’t it redundant to use Plaxo, Oggsync and Milksync - all three? I ask because I am looking to accomplish the same without installing Outlook 2007 and minimizing the number of applications required to achieve it.

thx.
