Google Syncs Google Apps With Outloook

  Please fix this over-editorialised headline back to the original: "Google Syncs Google Apps With Outloook"

    Second that. It's not "real-world acknowledgement", it's just that Outlook is a behemoth, and a pain to support. Outlook users will sure appreciate this, the two percent of them that care.

      Your acknowledgement that Outlook is a behemoth seems to coincide with Outlook being a major part of the real world.

        Behemoth meaning big, slow, and not something you'd want to get closer than 100 feet of.

    Agreed. My "real world" view involves avoiding Outlook any time I can, including business contexts.

  First thing: great, there are indeed too many users for whom Outlook is the email interface. However, who doesn't Google try and improve the very poor UI of Gmail first? There's no vertical view (humans find reading short columns easier than wide lines), no message body preview, Google calendar is invisible, the whole thing seems quite ghetto when compared even to Hotmail.

    I disagree. I like Gmail's email interface best, and I like that I can scan many messages quickly ---even on small screens. But Google publishes a solution: the Google Apps API. Also, since it's email, you can simply import, forward, or sync your Google mail into any other mail application that you like better.
