my journey across multiple dimensions

I have been trying for a long time to automate syncing google calendars (ical’s) together with my Iphone. There are a few options on the web to do that but most of them require signing up to 3rd party exchange server “look alike” routing services!! It needed new accounts to be set up and a password handover clause :s to be signed : yuk!

anyhow, last week google “yet again” came to the rescue by launching a free Google Sync Service. This service can syncronise upto 5 Internet Calendars to your mobile device at present it supports Iphone, Blacberry, Nokia, Sony Ericsson & Windows mobile. Its very easy to set up (detailed instructions here).  

By default it only syncs default google calendar, to sync any others just browse to http://m.google.com/sync on iphone and specify others individually. In less then 10 minutes my 10 month search was over. All my internet cal’s are now automated to “pull” sync and the best part is it even does event alarms hmmmm one step closer to that interconnected bliss.
