Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 200810.5.3 - you can now sync Gmail contacts with Address Book!.
...which is great, and something I've been looking for since I moved my mail over to Gmail IMAP. Woohoo. Oh, hang on, *it only gives you this option if you have an iPhone*. Bastards. So now the functionality of my OS is increased if I'm a good boy and buy more peripheral hardware? Grr. > Oh, hang on, *it only gives you this option if you have an iPhone*. > Bastards.

Yep, I don't understand this one bit, it seems utterly ridiculous to require that you have an iPhone in order to sync address book contacts. Still, there must be a way to enable it, hopefully someone will find where the setting is hidden... >> Oh, hang on, *it only gives you this option if you have an iPhone*. >> Bastards.

One of the comments says you can do it if you've done a .mac sync, so you could try signing up for a .mac trial and then seeing if the Google option appears. And yes, a Calendar sync option would be fantastic, still, the calendar syncs with my Nokia and my iPod nano, so I've always got it with me in one way shape or form... |
