Tech - iPhone to Android?

Hmm, it does look like Android synch with Outlook is an issue..."Unlike the iPhone, you cannot simply connect to a local copy of Outlook running on your PC." this sums up a multitude of websites I looked at. $29.95 for an Android app that will do it? Yikes.

PC Mag http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2382337,00.asp yup, issues. <sigh>

Are you on an exchange server - is this a work or home account? We use Outlook at work but of course we have an Exchange server. I have NO problem accessing the exchange server with my Android (Galaxy Note 2), utilizing my Androids native email/calendar program. You aren't syncing to Outlook itself, but to the server in this model - but of course it only works IF you are synching to an exchange server...

home office, single PC install of Outlook/Office 2010... hence my pointing out that a solution for single installs doesn't seem very avail for Android according to what I found/linked/posted

I wasn't sure, and I know someone who set up an exchange server on their home network. That would certainly be a limitation to consider in your choice. I moved from the iOS to Android and haven't looked back, but I didn't need to deal with this limitation.

They just never make it easy. I shouldn't have to reconfigure a bunch of stuff to use a stupid phone.

I was an avid iPhone user. we also have iMac, iPads, iPods, etc.
but, in the Fall I got Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and I never look back. There is so much more I can do with my phone, plus the screen that is double the size. Love my phone.

If you are still looking for ideas for using outlook on Android, try Touchdown. Works great. There are a couple of different versions - for Exchange or Outlook. This one is for Outlook.
