Don't forget Google DNA, Google Blood Sample, Google First Born Child

This is one of my main concerns with an Android based device. While I do have some information on Google - general calendar entries, basic email back and forth between small circle of friends and family, and basic address book entries, the vast majority of my info is saved on my computer locally, I remain concerned about having to sync all this information up to Google in order to have it accessible on a 'droid device. I remain a steadfast supporter of wired sync between my computer and whatever device I'm using.
That said, these guides are helpful to a new user to assist in understanding Android, devices and what the "best" programs are for their needs.
