Google Calendar <—> iPhone
I wanted to figure out an easy, secure, and free(!) way to sync my Google Calendar to my iPhone. (I know it’s now built into iCal, but that’s only if you’re using OS X 10.5, which I’m not.) This morning I found GCALDaemon, and I quickly had that up and running. It’s pretty neat! It provides two way syncing between my Google calendars and iCal, and the iPhone then of course syncs to iCal. So it’s perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it’ll do the trick until we finally upgrade to 10.5. (And yeah, I could’ve just used Safari to access Google’s mobile calendar site, but where’s the fun in that?)

nuevasync has ota push cal and contact sync. however it uses the exchange settings so you can’t have push email set up. i use gmail so it works fine. this would push changes made from the phone to google calendar (and your gmail contacts as well) and back the other way. i think it only works with one google calendar though…
Yeah, I had that one recommended to me but I was put off by the idea of using a third party. However, yesterday I realized it’s pretty much the only way to get my GMail contacts to sync to the iPhone. So I set it up, and it works perfectly!
And as for multiple calendars… They added support for that yesterday! So that’s working too.
