One of the coolest features available in the new iPhone 2.0 software update is the ability to get new email messages, contacts, and calendar events pushed to your device automatically. The catch: If you don't want to shell out $100 for MobileMe and you don't have a Microsoft Exchange server lying around, you're stuck pulling data or manually syncing it to your computer. But, if you're willing to roll up your sleeves, you can set ...

PhoneSheet takes a feature - call and contact management - from software such as Act (offline) or LongJump (online) and breaks it out into a Web-based interface. While I think the website is well done and easy to navigate, and ...
