QUOTE(nokian @ Jan 6 2011, 10:02 AM) lch78, Does the android auto sync with the outlook in my compaq win7 notebook as well? In auto sync,the data in outlook eg.contacts and appt.will auto update whenever i edit my contacts. btw,how much is thinkfree office? TQ QUOTE(lch78 @ Jan 6 2011, 10:18 AM) As far as I know, this auto sync with outlook cannot be done. You have to manually press the sync with outlook. But, this feature might be available already or in the future which I am not too sure as I am using auto-sync to gmail right now. i ve discovered that:Thinkfree is free for download at android marketplace. Which phone you intend to buy? Most phones will come with ms office editting software already. Only when u don't like it, then you can search for alternatives. 1) can only sync from MS outlook's contacts to device's people , but not from device's people to MS outlook's contacts 2) problems in the outlook's conatct telephone numbers field that android cannot read thus cannot be updated in the device's people ** its better to rely on the android people and keying in separately in the MS outlook for now anyone has a solution? |
