Both Astrid and the Android calendar are shown onscreen via the Android Agenda Widget. Tasks on the other hand are managed by Producteev, a cloud based task organizer, which is then synced to my Astrid Tasks app on Android (which also syncs to for social/shared tasks with other team members if needed). What I do is that I sync Outlook Contacts and Calendar to Google, which are then actively synced to my phone (no data loss for me). I've since stopped using Outlook for Tasks on Android because Android doesnt natively support tasks (it supports events), because Google Calendar doesnt have tasks yet (its still in Beta). You should look for Gsyncit or CompanionLink if you want to keep it on PC. Some people suggested I use MyPhoneExplorer before, but I ended up using cloud syncing for my contacts, calendar and tasks.
Although I have kept MyPhoneExplorer because it archive SMS conversations, phone logs etc. I have also tried MyPhoneExplorer - which is limited by no std task/notes app, same with GSync. word of warning - make sure in Android Accounts and Sync setting (not Deja office) that you have your google account to only sync mail and not calendar, contacts otherwise it will daisy chain all your data across to the cloud also - which I was trying to prevent!
This sync works in 2 way - so if you add a contact into Android it will make it's way to Deja Office then eventually back to Outlook. You can do the same for Calendar but I have it switched off & just use Deja Calendar which looks better anyway. So once you do that it populates all your contacts in the right android standard fields - and you get all your phone logs showing up with names not numbers.
However if you set Deja Sync setting to sync back to Android contacts App. Yes it loads into it's own database /apps basically because there is sadly no standard task or notes app. What Vilenko says above is only half true. they beat FC PlanPlus to market with Android product). You can tell it which field goes where, it even synch colours and categories as well as FC task priorities that I use on the desktop (ie. I have just purchased Companion Link /Deja Office after a 14 day trial. If you search the forums there is a post somewhere which outlines field mapping issues. On the standard Kies sync you cannot do any field mapping and it does not pick up many fields, although you can field map when you do a one time import. I have 2 mobile phone numbers in one contact, or if you have assistant's name, etc then Kies fails. I have tried Kies, and if you have any kind of complexity in your contacts it fails. Read their terms, effectively they own the information also - not just you. I like many others do not want to store details and notes about my contacts on google servers where effectively the information becomes theirs to do want they like to target you with advertising. Folks - if we are talking about Sync directly with desktop Outlook client (not server) indeed this is a gap.
