When you add/edit a contact online, it syncs with your phone.<p>You can add a Google Calendar widget on your Home Screen.<p>The best is the GMail app which according to most people is better than the Mail app on the IPhone.<p>Basically, when using your Android phone for the first time, you login with your GMail credentials and you automatically have your contact and calendar on your phone.<p>"PS: Apple doesn't do maps."<p>They will soon. Apple bought PlaceBase last year.<p><a href="http://blogs.computerworld.com/14835/apple_purchased_mapping_company_in_july_to_replace_google" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.computerworld.com/14835/apple_purchased_mapping...</a>
