I would just like to take a moment to thank Google for providing a fantastic service. Why am I thanking them? Because I’ve just set-up a direct synchronisation between my Windows Mobile phone and my Google account.

Up until now, I had been syncing my phone with Outlook, which would then sync with my Google calendar – and this works, all except for the fact that it required two different sync-systems to work (doubling the chance that something could go wrong – which it did), and that it didn’t sync my contacts.

Now, thanks to Google being awesome, I’m able to sync my phone with my Google account directly – over the air – without the need for the Outlook middleman – not only that, but it also syncs my contacts as well.

There are some issues with it, such as my phone’s instanstance on making single name contacts (i.e. Amy) their surname, but these are minor problems. My ultimate aim is to get a T-Mobile G1, but this will have to wait until my current phone contact expires.

In other news, I’m meant to be working on the assignment that’s due in tomorrow – but instead I’m installing Windows Se7en beta on one of my laptops.
