The chances are that you have at least one computer at home, one
at work and a smartphone in your pocket. You may have an
internet enabled PDA and an MP3 player with address book and
calendar features too. So how do you keep track of what's kept
where?  The easy answer would be to move everything to an online
service such as Windows Live Hotmail or Gmail. But what if you
prefer the power tools of Outlook to the simple layout of Google
Calendar? What if you want to manage your contacts in a desktop
app but have them available to access when you're out and about?
Here's how you can synchronise contacts and events between the
big mail services and their desktop rivals.  1. Synchronise
Outlook with Hotmail  If you're a user of Microsoft Outlook 2003
or 2007, there's an easy, all-in-one way to access contacts,
synchronise calendar events and manage emails both online and
offline.  Microsoft Outlook Connector 12.1, which is now a free
download, enables you to hook up Outlook with your Windows Live
Hotmail account.
