Free apps with Classic include Google syncing 13
Your Pre syncs just fine with Google and it’s nice to have all your contacts up in the cloud. But you also find yourself using Classic and needing some way to get to those same contacts. Since webOS is apparently stingy and doesn’t want to share its stuff with Classic, you could say that you’re up a digital creek without a paddle.
Fear not, for Classic 2.0 came with the ability to quickly install a slew of free and trial Palm OS applications. Amongst those apps is GooSync, which will synchronize your Google Contacts and Google Calendar to your Palm OS device, or in this case the Palm OS emulator on your webOS device.
While the GooSync that ships inside Classic is a free seven day trial version, the full version with support for multiple calendars, automatic syncing, contact groups, tasks (lets see webOS do that!), and more. Both GooSync Lite and Premium are subscription-based services, with Lite available for £5.99/year and Premium running £19.95 for 1 year, £34.95 for 2 years, and a lifetime subscription at £39.95. Hopefully you won’t need to spring for a lifetime subscription, as waiting two years for an app to transition to webOS or for a suitable webOS replacement would be kinda sad.
Thanks to brum for the heads up!

Unfortunately, the Classic app is absolutely horrible!!!! I doubt you will find someone who loves Classic, but ONLY needs Google sync to make the experience complete.
I HAVE BEEN AMAZED AT HOW POOR CLASSIC IS!!!!!!
I was bummed to see GooSync leave its free days behind, but I continued with the lite version for $10.01USD the day they killed the free service.
What I'm confused about from this topic is how it syncs? I was under the impression that the Pre radios didn't work under Classic. How is this sync performed? Cabled hotsync only or via wifi and/or phone?
It uses the data services of the Pre, whether it's connected via WiFi or EVDO. Classic does *not* have the ability to modify the connection - it just uses whatever is being passed to it.
Man, I think you have to make the switch to "present day" at some point.
From what I understand, Classic isn't exactly perfect, and you'll have to pay for sync with Google beyond the trial.
Seems like a lot of work.
I would buy classic if ljp emulators worked hands down

I refuse to use subscription software. If you want to charge for updates, that's fine. But charging just to keep using something you already bought is wrong, especially when it's a stand-alone product.
You don't buy anything up front - you are subscribing to their service.
Thank you very much for this information.
Good post thanks for sharing.
