It is harder if you don't use Outlook. I am using multiple Google Calendars synched with Outlook using Companion Link (which synchs Outlook categories into individual Google Calendars) but using HTC Sych with Outlook for my addressbook, as the native Hero Contacts application is quite good when linked with Outlook and understands categories/groups. Unfortunately, not many other applications understand categories - it would be good to be able to set up a Locale situation for work calls based on the Work category for contacts, but you can only select individual contacts.
I think that Agendus are working on an Android version of their calendar app. I prefered Datebk on my Palm, but Agendus would do!
I am optimistic. Palm had 10 years to refine their PIM applications, and Google and the Android Community have only just started!
