I’ve gotten this question twice in the past week, so I figured I should share this knowledge with the world. I’ve already discussed how to sync Android and Mac to copy files to/from your SD card. This is exclusively about Outlook. Read on!
CompanionLink (link) is the first app that I came across. This app syncs directly from Outlook to your Android. It syncs your email, contacts, tasks, etc. from Outlook. You must use your data cable and have an app called DejaOffice (free in the Market) already on your device to get this program to work. Some might not like the price at $39.95, but if you need Outlook and want to bypass Google, this is one of your few options. CompanionLink only works on PCs.

I’ve had my Samsung Moment Android Phone
for 9 months and I have literally installed hundreds of apps, searching for the perfect ones that fit my needs and entertain me daily. Here are my top 9 favorite Android apps, in no particular order. If it only works on 2.1, I’ve noted that in the description.
I love LauncherPro. This app adds a toolbar along the bottom of your screen for up to twelve additional icons! Not only does this save space on your homescreen for other icons, but it puts your most frequently used icons front and center for you to use no matter what screen you’re on. There is a donate version that unlocks some additional features such as themeing, but the free version works just fine. It has several dozen options, so you can tweak to your heart’s content.
Inquiring minds want to know! Let’s hear it in the comments! Tell us the name of the app(s), what it does and what you like about it!
Android user looking for a way to keep up with the latest in World Cup scores and facts? Look no further than Pocket WCup. This (paid) app is chock full of features that are sure to keep even the most discriminating soccer fan in the know on the go. There is a limited time free version, but to unlock all of the features, download the PRO version.
Features include:
- Access to latest news, background and results 24/7.
- Game Calendars.
- Player rankings and team line ups in real time.
- Live Stats (game, goals, cards).
- Video clips of matches.
- Quiz to share with family and friends.
- Fast facts on players, teams and refs.

I just got an Android phone – the Samsung Moment to be exact – and I wanted to sync my phone to my MacBook just like PC users could. However, it was easy and fast to figure out how to connect my Mac to my Android phone, and I can now sync files between my MacBook and Android phone! Here’s how:
- Restart your Android phone. (This step may be skipped by some users; others will find the computer doesn’t recognize the phone’s SD card without a restart of the phone.)
- Plug your USB cord that came with the phone to the phone, and connect to the Mac.
