DISQUS

Obviously I'm a bit late to the party, but as I have just recently started using FriendFeed I just came across this post. Unfortunately FriendFeed is missing from my Account Services list of available services. Has this functionality been removed? :(

@ChrisG-

Not sure if your comment was in reply to mine, but since it looks that way I just wanted to say that yes I've looked at NuevaSync. It's a great option for some people, but I have "account fatigue" and am wary of creating yet another account at a service provider.

I like Sync in a Blink and SaiSuke as they use my existing Google account and don't require me to sign up for another one.

Probably a lame and very un-Web 2.0 viewpoint, but it's a matter of personal preference. NuevaSync is a great option for people who don't mind going that route. Certainly more integraed into the iPhone than my choice. At least as far as calendaring goes. And more automated than Sync in a Blink (which still requires me to launch the app and click to sync).

For syncing the iPhone with Google Contacts, Sync in a Blink is an awesome application available from the iTunes app store. The latest version even supports Google's contact groups, although there are some caveats (I have a write up on my site).

For Google Calendar sync on the iPhone, I am using SaiSuke. It doesn't integrated with the built in iPhone calendar but it provides a suitable replacement calendar application. The only feature that I'd like to see is the ability to create recurring events from the iPhone. More of my thoughts on SaiSuke are here.
