There is only one good, complete solution I've found for synching Outlook to Google Apps. In other words: Outlook Calendar to GCal Outlook Contacts to GContacts Outlook Tasks to GTasks Outlook Notes to GDocs That program is gSyncit, which can be found here: http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/ It's not cheap, but it works (in my case).

Like a lot of people, I've been trying to find the right app for GTD ( http://davidco.com ). Currently, I'm trying Google Tasks, and I think it works pretty well. Some other apps I've tried: RTM ( http://rememberthemilk.com ) is clunky to use with GTD, although there is an extension for Firefox (and maybe Chrome) that provides an improved interface (called something like A Better RTM). RTM has a nice iPhone app, although the free version is limited. Regarding Google Tasks, I've found that it can work OK with GTD.  I set up GTasks according to the GTD Outlook guidelines from David Allen Co., then bookmarked/docked the following link for an expanded, full-screen view of GTasks (including menu bar):  https://mail.google.com/tasks/ canvas This setup requires more manual processing than some web apps, but it's free, and keyboard shortcuts (like shift-return to access the notes part of a task, and tabbing) can help speed the process. Also, using X's and asteris...
