Syncing and storing (learning) content on your phone for offline use with Google apps

While google has no note-taking app that could compare with Evernote or Springpad google apps do have quite a lot to offer to sync your notes from the PC to your mobile phone or vice versa. So here are some apps that might come in quite handy for your studies:

1. Save feeds posts and webclips to Google reader

Read your news and blog sources on your mobile phone and mark them with a star for later reading on a PC (e.g. you might want to watch a flash movie which is not available on the phone or the article might be too long to read on the phone). Select a specific part of of an article on the web or on the phone and post it to reader as a note (webclipping).

2. Store links to websites on Google bookmarks

Have your bookmarks available anywhere. Similarly to delicious and diigo you can even create lists and share your bookmarks (social bookmarking)

Keeping track of homework and other tasks

Gmail and google calender have a task module which allows you to create lists for various tasks (homework, shopping, todo list, etc.). If you set a deadline for your task it shows up in your google calenender and you can set a reminder which is sent to your mail inbox or to your phone via sms or via status update. 

There are various apps that sync with google tasks. One of the most popular ones is GTasks (shown in the picture). Using such an app you can use your phone as a mobile notebook that syncs with google tasks.
