Unless you have a philosophical aversion to Google, I've found that with
iPhone OR Android (but especially the latter) you might as well go all
in on google services, and use it to sync everything you possibly can
with Google.

Addresses, Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Music, Docs, etc.  Its easier
to find desktop applications that deal with Google than find phone apps
that deal with KDE or Linux apps.

Any KDE/Linux app that insists on ignoring Google integration is
just not worth my time.

Since I use IMAP for all mail, it really doesn't matter what mail
client I use, but Address books are a perpetual problem, because
Thunderbird keeps walking away from its own plugins, so address book
syncing works today, and then fails tomorrow.
