Does the iPhone work well with Mac/Microsoft products?
-I have an iPhone, but my mom wants to get one for work. She isn't too tech savvy and nor am I, so help is appreciated. Here's what I need to work:
1. My mom has a Mac Pro desktop, she uses Microsoft Entourage, Microsoft Word etc. etc. on her Mac Pro. My question is, will it sync contacts and emails?---my mom is getting laid off in may, so it doesn't need to work at a work place/office, but I need to know if it works with the iPhone.

2. My mom uses iCalendar, will it sync to the calandar on her iPhone?
3. My mom's contacts are on Microsoft Entourage, will they sync?

I'll have more questions later... all quick help is appreciated, I need to know by tomarrow

Using the iPhone with a mac is seamless. I cant wait to get my macbook hopefully soon.

I downloaded safari on my pc and my iPhone seems to sync with it better even on my windows machine.

Icalender will work no problem

Microsoft entourage i dont know but if not im sure that there would be a simple solution.

Im new to the mac world but remember that both the mac and iPhone are apple they will work perfect together

1. As long as it is running 10.4 or greater it should sync but I use "Address Book" & "Mail"(I don't actualy use mail but it would be my client of choice) the mac apps. so never tried with entourage.

2. iCal will work great.(She really should just utilize the mac applications for Contacts, email etc. also)


3. You already asked that in question #1.
