Anyone using Gapps for business for work or personal use?

I am going to purchase myself a "business" account today. I also am thinking about using this as a solution for our droids that we want to roll out (all two of them). The cost of a certificate is hard to justify for 1-2 phones.

I use the free stuff for all my (personal) domains.

Cool. Have any of you ever synced exchange mail/outlook calendars with it? Looks pretty simple to do.

I switched my domain's hosted exchange and web hosting from godaddy to google apps a month ago. I tried the 15 day trial of the premier edition to use the migration tools and it was far beyond my abilities. It was a permissions problem with godaddy so if you have better control over exchange the migration should be easier. I didn't have any problems downgrading to the standard edition.

I have the email set up as IMAP in Outlook and pulled all of my emails into that system. I haven't figured out a good way to do contact and calendar sync with Outlook. They have a program for that on the gmail side that I haven't bothered trying and the premier side has one too. I assume that the home one wouldn't work with an apps standard account.

On a Mac Google calendar and contacts sync natively so that was simple, once again I did IMAP for the mail. On an iOS device you set it up as exchange and it works great. Android obviously syncs perfectly.

boss shot it down. We are going with a UCC cert from godaddy or something.
I will probably register a domain with them later today.
