As with most Google's product, Google Sync is free and still marked as beta. The new application is intended for Windows Mobile phones only.

Google Sync lets you sync your device's Calendar and Contacts with Google's. Obviously, a Google account is needed to start using it. Besides the sync functionality, updates are pushed directly to your device.

This is possible because Google Sync uses Exchange Activesync protocol. Google warns that "when setting up a new Exchange Activesync account on your phone, all existing Contacts and Calendar events may be removed". It is crucial that a backup be made before using Google's Sync.

Google's Sync is a nice offering for those who do not have an Exchange Server account. Adding email to Google Sync would have made it irresistible though. I wonder what it takes to include Gmail in the package?
