2-Way Sync - Google Calendar (Gcalendar/Gcal) and iPhone

2-Way Sync - Google Calendar (Gcalendar/Gcal) and iPhone
I'm using Spanning Sync to achieve this integration between Google Calendar and iPhone , as suggested in this article.
http://spanningsync.com/ says: Spanning Sync 3 is the one app that syncs both iCal with Google Calendar and (Mac) Address Book with Google Contacts. It gives you even better control over how your information syncs, and is now up to 10x faster!

Two-Way Sync between Gcal & iPhone

It can be done, and I've tested it! These instructions are for an iCal-enabled computer (specifically a Mac). It does require:

• MobileMe ($70 if you get it with a new iPhone, $100 otherwise; or $120/150 for a family plan, for 5 people) - this syncs your iPhone to iCal
• Spanning Sync - syncs your Google Calendar(s) to iCal

I suspect Google will eventually come up with an iPhone App to replace Spanning Sync, but MobileMe will most certainly be an essential part of the equation.

Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar. You'll be able to determine the direction of information flow, as well as the sync frequency. Staying on top of your Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar events has never been easier! Here's some good information to know to help you get started with Google Calendar Sync.

Compatibility

Currently, Google Calendar Sync is only compatible with Microsoft Outlook versions 2003 and 2007, and operating systems Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Windows XP 64-bit Edition is not compatible with Google Calendar Sync at this time
We understand that many people like to stay connected with various calendar applications. Unfortunately, it's not recommended to use Google Calendar Sync when using third-party sync applications* that sync between Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar. Please be aware that doing so may result in duplicated events or deleted data.

Some scary moments in Morro Bay Saturday when large waves caused a Coast Guard boat to flip.

Witnesses say the Coast Guard cutter was towing a skiff boat back to shore when it got stuck in some large wave sets.

The strong waves then flipped the cutter with three of the skiff passengers on board.

'Basically they ran down the face, hit the trough, the bow just started submerging in the trough of the wave and the stern just completely came over the bow,' said Ray Savoie, who witnessed the incident. 'I mean they did a full forward flip with a half roll.'

'We came up, we righted ourselves, and my friends were gone, they were gone,' said David Langer, who was a passenger on the skiff boat. 'I looked and there they were in the ocean looking up.'

No one was hurt but the Coast Guard cutter was damaged in the incident.

The passengers on the skiff boat say they take full responsibility for what happened because they should not have been out on the water, in the skiff boat, in the first place."

Here is just one more piece of evidence that Apple's iPad announced Jan 2010 will become a major new platform - with all or more of the impact of the iPod, iTouch, iPhone, iMac, MacBook lines. My Mom, aged 98 this year, will be the recipient of one of the first of these iPad platforms - what does that say? No more newspaper ink stains, to say the least.
