Run Microsoft Outlook on iPad or sync Outlook with iPad / iPhone

Since the world of tablets is getting bigger, better and more versatile, many of us (iPad aficionados and those who are now becoming ones) ask a question: Can I run Outlook on the Ipad?

Well.. it would be a Sci-Fi question a few months ago, but today you can have Outlook displayed in the iPad or iPad 2 (Fig.1) totally for free thanks to VMware View. VMware has finally made possible to access your Windows Desktop from the iPad which means you can not only display your favorite mail client there, but you can also use your tablet as a remote client of your desktop machine.

If you don't want to use any remote desktop connections and want to simply synchronize your iPad with Outlook, you can do it pretty easily with the iCloud service and its iCloud Control Panel for Windows, which allows you to share Outlook data with iPad automatically. The iCloud and Outlook synchronization are, however, a little bit tricky as upon installing the control panel you get a new tree of folders in Outlook with your iCloud data. This has little to do with syncing as your master folders are still left intact. You can luckily fix this thanks to CodeTwo Sync for iCloud.
