Yep, same issue here. FF is not in the Account Services list.

Yeah, what's the score guys, has this feature been removed now?

they believe and i agree that it's more natural to log in with a profile that you own and understand. the problem with google's profiles is that everyone has one but they don't feel like they "own" them. that said, they will add google sign on shortly.

openID is clunky and hard for the average user

Exactly the same situation for me :(

I wonder why they haven't started to support Google and/or OpenID in general yet...

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.

Trent-

Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure exactly what the problem you're having is but I'll drop you an email privately and we'll see if we can figure it out. Sync in a Blink is awesome once you get it working!

Re: iPhone 3G Sync with Google Contacts

mridley — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 17:45:06 -0000

You can definitely do it that way. But I would suggest using Sync in a Blink instead. It rocks! And then you don't have to bother with that at all. For more information see here.

Thanks for the comment. I installed the application and it rocks. I've written up my thoughts here.

Re: iPhone 3G Sync with Google Contacts

mridley — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:51:48 -0000

Yeah, that would be nice! I looked into that, but there doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to do it. It could be possible to access the groups using the Google Contacts API, however there's no way to sync that into the iPhone contact list.

It would be nice if the iPhone SDK would allow access to the phone contacts, as then you could create a web service that would sync Google Contact Groups and even do it over the air. But, with the current iPhone SDK/API that's not possible.

Re: Feature Request: Coverflow for Contacts on the iPhone

Ashim-

Thanks for the reply. Alas I suppose I'm committed to the iPhone at this point, and the lack of that feature is not a deal breaker by any means. But I do hope it's something that a future OS release supports.

Hi Glenn-

Thanks for the comment. I haven't had much time to work on the project lately as I've just started a new job, however as I progress if I get something presentable I'll make it public.
