Hey iphone & google calendar users

[mattbell]

What do you use for working with google calendar on the iphone?  There's no app from google and the web interface via safari on the phone is horrendous.  I see a couple of third party apps that claim to do it, but I'm curious to hear from someone who is actually using one.

That was easy.

I have mine synced directly in iCal on the iPhone. You basically set Google Calendars to act like an exchange server to push updates (two way sync). There should be instructions on Google Calendars for setting it up.

I use SaiSuke which is okay (supports read/write), though I don't use it very often. Synchronization is slow and the UI feels a little sluggish. But assuming I've sync'ed it recently, it's great for pulling up my gcal to answer questions like "what are you doing next weekend," or "when was so-and-so's party, again?"

currently I synchronize gcal with my ms outlook and then synchronize outlook with my iphone cal.

its a bit cludgy and is not both ways..

you can also use spanningsync i think but it costs moolah

FYI, here's the link with instructions on setting up Google Calendar Sync on iPhone:

I recommend this too.

Seamless integration as far as I've found.

Yup.. it's been working beautifully for quite a while for me. And now, 3.0 supports up to 25 calendars. Sweet!

That was easy, thanks. I'm surprised my google searches didn't turn that up.

Great timing M! and thanks for this great link C! I just asked my apple genius friend how to do this on the way to the airport. She referred me to the web site.

I only had one problem with the sync. Only one of my gcal calendars is visible. Does this mean I need to sync the others one at a time? If so, that's workable, but annoying.

I don't think so. I have a mix of public and private calendars I sync over the air.. all works smoothly.

You need to log onto a gcal configuration page and select the remaining calendars for sync. iPhone OS 2.0 supported 5 calendars, and I think 3.0 supports 25. :-)

I've got an iPod Touch and have installed mobile Google, which includes the Calendar, so you should be able to do the same.
