USRobotics PalmPilot Personal review

And to this day, two-way contact sync is still not a solved problem. Just the other week, iCloud duplicated all my GF's contacts...

Google contacts (within gmail) is great for this, for a single account. Never had a problem.

Though syncing between different accounts (my gmail account + my google apps account) is not trivial. There are some decent apps on the google apps marketplace, but none of them work as seamlessly as single account syncing. But I wouldn't call it an "unsolved problem" in any way.

Are you using this with Android?

I stopped bothering after my 2.3.x phone insisted on "syncing" in one direction only from Accounts --> Phone and reverting any updated numbers on my phone.

Most things nowadays don't even sync. They just use the master copy and or a read-only cache if you are offline.

Can anyone explain in simple terms why this is so?
