Direct way to sync Outlook to Android phone

Submitted by Tech-Karma Fan on Fri, 08/20/2010 - 09:25.

There are many ways to sync Outlook with an Android phone. You can search the web for them or go to syncdroid.net, where you can find a chart of most available software, what it syncs (contacts, calendar, email, tasks, notes), whether it syncs with USB cable or wirelessly, the price (many free), and a short overview of each software title. Its a good resource. Cheers!
