Hey Judi, I followed the lifehacker post linked above and I have google sync in my Address Book. It was easy!

Jasper, do you sync with .Mac then? Reading through this thread it appears that may be a factor. There's also a thread here and here. Speak of Lifehacker, they have a post here about how to get around the iPhone thing in a hacky sort of way.

Hmmm, I get the Google pref and I don’t have an iPhone…

Scott, with all due respect…what the heck are you talking about? The screen shot I took above is directly from my own Address Book prefs under Mac OS X 10.5.3. It ain’t there.

It shows up in the Address Book prefs as advertised, and it syncs in the standard way. Use iSync, folks.

Whomever said it only works with an iPhone first ought to be ashamed of themselves, and of the parrots that followed should be doubly ashamed for repeating it.
