I'm currently writing an outlook add-in for sync google contacts as a project on the side. I got the basic framework completed. I got the add-in to download all the contacts from google, and now working on matching up outlook contacts and google contacts.
I'm not clear on how fast an outlook add-in like this needs to be fast, I can always start a thread object to off load the task from the UI thread. If anyone else is interested in such a application please feel free to message me so I can keep you inform of releases.
