Norma, I am perplexed as well - I have had my Google account set up as
Exchange on my iPhone since Google opened up the Mobile Sync and I have
never had an issue. Previous to that I had NuevaSync set up which was the
same thing through a third party - I jumped ship to Google just to cut out
the middle man and have never had an issue - all of my syncing done as soon
as I save it on the iPhone (back to Google) or to the phone if saved on
Google as soon as I open the Calendar or Contacts app...
