I very badly missed a good free and flexible two-way sync software for my
Android phone. So I wrote ASynK (earlier known as Gout). ASynK - Awesome Sync
(by Karra), is a flexible PIM synchronization platform written in Python.
You can find all about it on the project home page at:
http://karra-asynk.appspot.com/
High level features include:
- ASynK allows two-way sync of Contacts across any two support sources -
Google Contacts, Microsoft Outlook, and Emacs BBDB.
- ASynK is the only two-way synchronization option for BBDB known to be in
existence today. So if you are keen to keep your BBDB content synchronized
with a mobile device or Outlook, look no further. BBDBV3 is supported out
of the box. BBDBv2.x (i.e. file format version 6) is also supported but it
needs
a small patch to BBDB. More at:
http://karra-asynk.appspot.com/doc/asynk/asynk_2.html#SEC8
- ASynK works on Windows, MacOS X, and Linux. Outlook synchronization
only works on Windows.
- Synchronization is granular to the level of 'Folders', i.e. you can
synchronize one folder of Google Contacts with a Outlook folder (on
Windows at work, say), and another Google folder in the same account with
BBDB (On your Mac, say)
- The infrastructure is there to add more database and item types
(i.e. tasks, notes, etc.), but currently only Contacts synchronization for
Google Contacts, BBDB and Outlook supported
- It is free software, and released under the GNU AGPL (Affero GPL) version

Cheers and happy synching!
