I now seem to have calendars syncing. Contacts doesn't seem viable at this time as it misses fields when synching. I can do a manual import to get the fields in both Google and my Mac OS address book, but any later edits to those fields won't be propagated. I really don't want to use a third-party service for this.

In all this I've noticed one glaring thing. Everything from Google is clunky as hell. Of course, Apple could to a LOT better as well. Maybe we'll see how it goes with the supposed revamp and potentially free MobileMe coming down the pipe.
