Poor Man's Exchange Server - Google Mobile Sync

I said to my IT guy once, "Hey, I want to enter a calendar appointment or whatever on my Windows Mobile Smartphone and have it wirelessly sync with my Outlook and vice versa." He told me I need Microsoft Exchange Server. "Alright, what's involved and how much?" You'll need a server (a pc), Exchange server software, and a couple of hours of installation time and setting up your cell phone. "Are those my only options I asked?" There are other options, but Exchange is a good solid solution to do what you want to do.
I have found exactly what I am looking for ... and the great thing about it is that the solution is FREE. Google Mobile Sync allows me to sync my mobile phone to my Google calendar. By installing another free application from Google, Google Calendar Sync I can now enter an appointment on my cell phone and be assured when I get back to my office that same appointment will be reflected in my Outlook. How sweet is that!

I Want Google Voice - Don't You?

A few years ago I looked at a service called Grand Central - a service where you never miss a call, but the two features I most coveted was 1. turning my voice mails into text AND 2. the ability to screen callers while they are leaving a vmail and giving me the option to either take the call or not take it. I learned a long time ago that a phone is there for my convenience not the callers.
There are lots of services out there that transcribe your vmails to text, but they charge. To be honest I didn't want to pay. But in a few short days I will be able to have my cake and eat it too. Google bought Grand Central in July of 2007 and the promise of making this long waited for service available FOR FREE is suppose to take place sometime in the next few days according to Google's blog.
