Guys please bare with me as I am a brand new iPhone user- less than 24 hours old. I have been a mac user for only 6 months and I'm loving every minute of its reliability, simplicity and performance. I've been pondering an iPhone for a long time now and just decided to bite the bullet last night.
First let me explain that I am a 50% corporate user and 50% personal user of this iPhone. I am the IT Manager in a land of PC's and Windooooze machines (not by choice). I am forced to sync my iPhone with my work PC (YUCK) and not my Macbook because my Outlook calendar, tasks, notes and contacts are ESSENTIAL to my use of this phone on the corporate level. I pondered sync'ing my PC with my Macbook regularly but that's just too much hassle and I don't know how soon I can get my corporate workstation switched to and Mac PRO so this will have to do. You should also know that I have been a LOOOOONG time crackberry user so the ease of Outlook sync has me stuck. I do have Entourage on my Macbook so I'm completely open to suggestions as to work the above scenario...
So now to my questions...
Like the Blackberry I was hoping to find a Task List that would sync with Outlook.
I was hoping for (and maybe I'm just missing it) an Address Book icon that will allow me to access directly from the home screen.
I haven't been able to get Outlook "Notes" to sync with iPhone "Notes", any suggestions?
Is there a program similar to Keychain Access available? I'm really just looking to 'store' my passwords securely. As an IT Manager/Sys Admin I have many, many passwords that change regularly and need to store them securely.
Lastly, any websites, tutorials or links you can provide me for further education would be MUCH, MUCH appreciated!
