Well I think I’ve finally found the best solution for synchronizing Outlook with Google Contacts and Google Calendar.  It’s CompanionLink, which has Outlook synchronization tools for a number of environments and scenarios.

No, this isn’t a paid post. I found CompanionLink for Google Android in my searches for a reliable sync tool for Outlook & Gmail, which was maid imperative with my purchase of the T-Mobile G1.

In previous attempts, I’ve used Thunderbird with various contact and calendar sync tools, but they just didn’t cut it.  They also were a manual process for the most part.

CompanionLink is a great tool that just sits and runs in your Windows tray and keeps your contacts, calendar, and tasks synchronized in the background.  Great stuff.
