That has been the biggest stumbling block for me. I could subscribe to Google Calendars and they would show up in iCal, but their alarms didn't. I ended up writing a convoluted set of scripts to copy the events over and assign alarms. It would be great if this includes alarms! Does it sync alarms?

Google Apps (even the so-called enterprise solution) forces iCal calendar invitations to use Google branding -- which can appear very tacky when you have a reputation to maintain for your clientele.

I have an exchange calendar at work that is flawless with my iphone, right down to accepting invitations. I have been using the Google Outlook tool to keep that sync-ed to google calendar and then just subscribing in iCal on the Mac. All prior Mac sync tools I've tried have ended up sending duplicate events to my iPhone as somehow the iCal/MobileMe wasn't recognizing this calendar as the same as the Exchange one already on my iphone. Now, using only Google's free sync tools, I'm able to add and edit events from all three locations (work PC, home Mac, and iPhone) and even enjoy all the Exchange benefits (e.g. meeting invitation acceptance). Brilliant. This is the missing piece for me.

I'm only able to see them as read only even tough they are shared. Have you tried using a calendar other than the one from your Google account?
