Question Could an iPhone replace SWMBO's WinMo PDA?

Hi all,

I'm thinking about getting my Wife an iPhone for Xmas.

She currently uses an HTC Diamond Windows Mobile PDA which she uses to sync a few specific things with her work laptop:
  • Tasks.
  • Calendar.
  • Address Book (Contacts).

My question is, can the iphone replicate her PDA as those 3 things are paramount?

Cheers.

If she uses Outlook then you can definately sync calendar & contacts.

If you connect the phone and go to info in iTunes then you can see the options. I'm afraid tasks do not show up though.

Ah.

Is there not "An app for that"?

[Edit] - It looks like there might just be "An app for that"

Anyone know anything about TaskTask or IMExchange?
