Concerning the syncing-issue, I can reccomend “remote calendar”. What made me finally choose for this app was that it can sync a variety of calendars using calDAV with my iphone. Me and my girlfirend are using ical, while in office we are using google. With remote calendar I have it all in sync. You should look out for it in the app store. Since I’m a little scatterbrained sometimes, this is just great for me. I don’t forget important appointments anymore. The app works very well and way better than other applications of this kind (NemusSync, SpanningSync, Google or BusySync, etc.), which are often developer-bound (i.e. they can only sync google, for example). Let’s assume I’m on a business trip. Remote calendar syncs my new appointments instantly when someone in the office makes a new entry into my calendar. I tried other solution, too, but remote calendar wokrs way better. It is very easy to use and even people like me, who are in war with technical devices, understand really quick how it works. Above all it is cheap. It is totally solid and reliable. During the 3 month I’ve been using it, I couldn’t find any bug.

Any idea when Google will support all contact fields in Outlook/iCal/iPhone?

I uploaded my contacts but lost the ones that did not have email & the extra field info was lost.

For those of you who take big advantage of Facebook events, there's a facebook app called FbCal that will add the URL for the events you're attending (or even the ones you're just thinking of attending) to Google Calendar for you, which will then sync to your iPhone.

It's pretty awesome. It syncs all the details from the "about" area as well. 

Be aware there's a bit of a delay though. An event I set myself as attending yesterday only showed up this morning.

@Steve:

Yup. Google Sync should do that. It can push everything from your iPhone out to Google. The only caveat is that Google's "Contacts" appears to have been built in the 80's or something because it strips out a lot of fields. (The guys that did the DB for it likely didn't have a lot of friends.)If you have someone's birthday or anniversay listed in a special date field it won't sync to Google and will likely get lost. Basic Name, address, phone, email info is there though.

@Steve

I haven't had any problems. I've been able to sync iPhone to Google to Outlook and back again. The one thing to keep in mind is that Google is the hub. If I update in one of the three spots it populates to the others in a short amount of time.
