I want to synch my iPhone with Outlook, but the standard way, via iTunes, …well…, involves iTunes (that I don’t want). Is there an alternative? The answer seems to be that you can synch but it has to be via another server, be it Google Mail or a specialised third-party product. The simplest way to synch Outlook to Google Calendar is by using a downloadable app from Google. Further details and options are given below (under “More” or whatever).
