=Synchronization=
Synchronization of contacts, calendar events and email is possible through three mechanisms. Proprietary applications provide the only access to consolidated note and task list access, but if you don't mind your information being separated, third-party solutions like [http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ Remember the Milk].
==Google Web Applications==
=Editing Wiki Pages=
The default browser handles editing large text boxes in portrait mode very poorly. The workaround is to use landscape mode for editing large text boxes such as those found on wikis. Additionally, the vertical bar or pipe on the soft keyboard is a <code>¦</code> character rather than a <code>|</code>. Copy and paste provide a workaround for this bug, but it's surprising that Google couldn't properly map the keys on its software keyboard.
=Cartography=
Android phones have builtin GPS, cell tower and wifi location mechanisms. Thanks to this, these devices can be used to contribute to [[geographic information system]] projects like [[OpenStreetMap]]. To turn on wifi and GPS positioning, toggle the appropriate settings under <code>Settings->Location</code>. To enable photo geotagging, press the <code>Menu</code> button while the camera application is running and select <code>Settings</code>. From this menu, check the <code>Geo-tag photos</code> box.
