I'm a Notes user at work and I have a new Google phone. But I can't figure out how to sync my calendar at work to the one on the phone.

As it turns out, there isn't a direct way to make this happen (yet), but it is doable. We looked and haven't found any Android/Notes synchronization apps.

But here's how you can make it work. The solution takes into account the fact that the Nexus is, essentially, an extension of the Google applications.

So, when you sync the Android phone, you're syncing it to Google's mail, calendar, and so forth. The question then becomes this: can you sync Google's apps with Notes?

The answer to that is yes. You'll need to use a commercial program, CompanionLink for Google. Here's how the company describes the product:

CompanionLink for Google synchronizes Lotus Notes contacts, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, calendar events, tasks, and alarms and reminders with a user's Google account. Complete two-way synchronization ensures that any change to data in Google will synchronize back with Lotus Notes. In addition to contact and calendar data, CompanionLink for Google also synchronizes multiple Google calendars with Lotus Notes categories.

The good news is that this isn't an expensive solution. You can get CompanionLink for Google for under $30.
