Mobile Tech Minutes: GooSync
This week I discovered two things when I brought the HTC Advantage back into the rotation: I had no calendar nor contacts having canceled my Exchange Server and I needed a way to sync the Advantage with my Google Apps stuff. Enter GooSync, a free (with paid extras) online solution that syncs phones with the Google cloud.
I’ve been using GooSync on my BlackJack II for about 6 months and it works flawlessly.

I have been using this program in the free forum for a while for both my HTC Tilt and my Advantage. I just use the HTC Touch Pro profile.
James, what 6.1 flash are you using for your X7501? are you using a cooked ROM or a official release? I’m still on 6.0…but I would like to get it up to 6.1.
I am using the Athena Project flash which has worked well since it was first released.
Also, your not using MVRTrueVGA are you? It did not work very well on my X7501 and I paid the $10 for it. Yours seams smaller then the QVGA, but not as small as MVRTrueVGA set’s it…what are you using? If any thing(maybe it’s my eyes)
I am using RealVGA which works great.
I should add I have RealVGA set for 128dpi.
Great idea, James!
Again, THANKS for sharing tips and ideas like this for this great lil’ mobile computer…
Please continue with any other ideas, suggestions, etc for how you use the X7501…very helpful to see the ideas in action.

Thank you James! What a waist of money, I paid $10 for MVRTrueVGA, and i got it mixed up with RealVGA the MVR people said 1.5…the version I paid for worked well with the advantage…Real VGA blows it away!
Back when CompUSA was liquidating, I saw the 7501 on sale in their San Francisco Market St store for $400. I spent about 45 minutes agonizing over whether to buy it or not. Ultimately I decided to pass on it.
I’ve regretted it ever since D:
No offense James but you really need to work on those startup sequences if you’re going to do one of these videos each day. That was really cheesy
Jake, it was cheesier than intended. I’ll work on that.
Feel free to give our competing service OggSync a try. Best – Shawn
I have a Windows Mobile 6.1, which displays my weekly schedules and list of contacts. I have been using GooSync to update my mobile device with everything I want online. I have not tried any of its paid features, because the free stocked program works just fine.
