It comes into a class of its own if you are running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.6) as you can set it up in iTunes to sync with your Gmail contacts. Once you have done this you only need to set up the exchange server on your handset. In my instance I am only using it for my contacts and calendar (which now replaces the My Memova setup). My email is IMAP on the device using Gmail (as I have recently given Google Apps away as no longer needed).

Enabling Push data access on the device ensures your contacts are synced at all times and now means I have one set of contacts, backed up in 3 seperate locations. I can also edit my contacts on any device or App and they are automatically updated on the other. Something I have been after for a while now.

Supporting most popular devices, you can’t go past this as an essential contact management tool.

Firefox extension Xoopit turns Gmail into a robust, searchable media management tool for every piece of media that comes through your inbox. By indexing every attachment as well as every link to photos and videos from sites like Flickr, Picasa, and YouTube, Xoopit allows you to easily search for and find any picture or video and view it from directly inside Gmail.
