But syncing to the local app is useful for:

1) situations where you've got NO signal, but still want to know your appointments, check a phone number to dial from a landline, etc.

2) situations where you're trying to change something, but the signal is so low/slow that it's unbearably unusable.

3) when a Google App is down (it has happened), and you want to look at your last known data set.


Even Google lets you do syncing of their apps (with Gears on regular platforms, and it's built-in to Android).
