gSync will do for now
I’m slowly trying to move our calendar from a paper calendar on the kitchen wall to Google Calendar. Now that I’ve got things like due dates for our bills and appointments set up I’d like the information to be synced to my iPhone… but of course there’s no way to do it natively. Going directly to my Google Calendar page in Safari on the iPhone is less than ideal as well.
The best solution would be a service that could sync my Google Calendar to my iPhone over-the-air in near real time, without having to manually sync my iPhone to my MacBook. That solution will hopefully come from GooSync, who is set to roll out an over-the-air sync solution in the first quarter of 2008.
In the meantime, I’ve started using an application called gSync to sync my Google Calendar with the Mac’s iCal application. The iPhone syncs natively to iCal every time it connects to iTunes, so this two-step process will ensure that events I create on the iPhone also end up in Google Calendar and events I create in Google Calendar show up on my iPhone.
