Thanks.

TL, how do you sync your outlook on your PC (Calendar and contacts) to your phone - if you do?

I synch it by not using Outlook. Why would I use Outlook when everything is so perfectly embedded in Gmail?

Know what you're saying but I do find an offline desktop email client so much easier and faster.

So run Gmail Offline.

I'm also staggered that your PC searches emails faster than Google's servers! :p:

I moved to Gmail for a number of reasons, but one of them was how much faster searching was on the web compared to using Outlook locally. I do not think the offline argument is a good one, especially as Outlook is moving rapidly in the direction of being online!

Gmail is a pretty good email client for Exchange/Activesync, but for my actual gmail account i find Inbox is invaluable.

UI-wise, I use ActionLauncher 3 instead of the stock one. Shutters and covers are great features, and what works well in stock is kept in AL.

Other than that, stock Android comes loaded with most of the apps I need apart from service-specific ones.
Keep is a particularly brilliant one for notes and reminders. Haven't used Evernote since that arrived.

Oh, one major recommendation both for Android and iOS is SnapSeed. Brilliant image tuner by now Google-owned Nik Software. They're more known for their brilliant suite of Photoshop plugins.

+1 for Keep.

I forgot to mention I use Priority Inbox for gmail, to help automatically filter my messages.

Also take a look at GmailDelaySend.  Very useful for doing work at one day/time and having the email automatically sent at another day/time.  It allows you to be in two places at once!
