We are writing set of tools which will allow you to do a sync between Google, Mac, Outlook, iPhone, Windows Mobile devices and SyncML devices. Based on that experience, Here are some hints:
1. Don't write add-in to outlook. It will be too slow and users will fed up! 2. Use direct HTTP calls to make the process faster if you just want to implement sync between google and outlook. If you have your application server there in picture, it might be a different story.
