It also synchs wirelessly with tooledo. (still outside of the iphone calendar, though well worth it)

I just purchased Pocketinformant (amazing) and this synchs with google calendar wirelessly on its own.

Actually, Apple will include native ICS subscriptions in iPhone OS 3.0; this will enable you to subscribe to any calendar application that includes ICS support, including Google Calendar, without needing extra applications or syncing with a PC/Mac. There's a preview at securityandthe.net.

If you have a planner.. and you’re a busy person.. You carry that wherever you go so you can make reference to it.

In the digital age, planners are now accessible on phones, pdas, smart phones, online, the computer..etc. Some people have calendars that are shared and dedicated to a company, within a group, or in my case at my university. In some instances, people would like to have multiple calendars accessible from “one point”, in this case, the iPhone, much like a hand written calendar. Additionally, sometimes changes are made or events added to a calendar that maybe online or on the computer. Some people would like to have those changes appear on their iPhone without having to input that change twice and vise versa. efficiency.

Traditionally, this is done by connecting the computer to the phone with a usb cord. Simple and straight forward. Nowadays, everything is going wireless. More convenient at times and the laptop in not in reach.

I personally use google calendars as my main calendar to keep track with my courses, inputted all my syllabi with due dates and all,etc. From there, I can sync iCal or outlook express to pull up those calendars. For my phone to reflect my calendar, I have to sync if from my laptop through a wire. In essence people are looking for a way to update their phones wireless over the internet, bypassing the laptop all together, pulling it directly from their online calendars.

Hope that answers your question. Got it? Good.
so that everything is in synch. So that, in situations where you’re at your laptop or desktop

I was using Nvevasync for several weeks and everything was great…then all my calendar and contacts were deleted.
Any other options?

To be more specic: When you open your email, you’ll notice that there is data exchanging, but email is not syncing: no upload no download. It’s solely calendars updating. Your email capability/accessibility to that specifc gmail account is at a standstill.

It works great BUT the trade-off is sacrificing gmail access to account that is linked to google calendar. Once you have the exchange account setup, you’ll see that you can turn E-mail on,however it is not supported by nuevasync.com, I tried enabling E-Mail, but it is not supported,I’m only left with a disable radio button.

The solution to this would be to create another google account solely for calendars, but that would be pointless and defeating the purpose of being fully integrated.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I just did the NuevaSync application described above. I am not very tech savvy and have very little patience troubleshooting these types of things, but it worked perfectly…and only took 5 minutes. Now I can see my Google calendar in the iphone calendar application (which is much better than the Google calendar iphone interface). I can edit/delete events in the iphone calendar, then hit “refresh” on my Google calendar displayed on my laptop and the change instantly shows up. Then I change something in Google calendar on my laptop and refresh the iphone calendar and the change show up instantly too. No need to connect the iphone to my laptop and sync. This is perfect…just what I needed because I love using Google calendar, but the Google calendar iphone interface wasn’t very good because you couldn’t edit/delete events. Now the Google calendar on my laptop and the calendar application on my iphone are perfectly synced in real time. Thanks!!!!

Saisuke is available at the App store and does sync the Google calendar OTA, but you must click the sync button [when you add or change an entry], which is at the bottom of any page. Note that it will only sync with the date range that you set up in preferences, but a broad range would make it work fine. You can change the date range for syncing when you are at the end of the range, or make it so large that it doesn’t matter.

In terms of security, NemusSync still appears to be the best solution because it communicates directly with Google via a secure channel. It’s a pity NemusSync isn’t available in the AppStore. I’m looking for a solution that sync with Google Calendar OTA each time there is a calendar insert, update or delete – just like MobileMe but with Google…

Thanks Ben. I wanted to use it, but I would have to delete my Exchange account calender [I think ] and that month at a glance with text was really needed [Saisuke] I got the free version and just kept changing the iPhone date to by one week to get the entire 3 months of my schedule, since the Saisuke free version only syncs one week [current date]. Also, I jailbroke my phone for the heck of it, since I could restore it back at any time. this allowed me to try a few apps, only to find them not very useful, and deleted them [rather than paying and finding them useless].

Thanks

@ Bill – you’re right to remember that, as previously Nuevasync required the entry of username and password during setup – however now they have implemented the more trustworthy google service authorization system, and this is no longer the case.

What bugs me is it would be easy for the TAB author to edit this post with an ‘update’ detailing this – a blog as popular as TAB needs to monitor their comments for mistakes and amendments to their articles, like all the major tech / Apple-centric blogs do – this post currently has factual mistakes which without correction discourage the use of somthing which is actually a remarkably stable and useful piece of web synchronisation.

But Saisuke is an iPhone app, which I would probably assume that security issues would be a problem to maintain iphone app status, but you may be right. I have Exchange, but the iPhone calendar stinks compared to Saisuke [monthly text view]. So I use both, but rely on Saisuke every day. Entourage syncs with Exchange, which syncs with Outlook on my PC, which syncs with Google, which syncs with Saisuke. I could add in iCal to sync with gcal, and exclude the PC, but I don’t need to update frequently, and everything justs auto updates, then click the sync button on Saisuke, so it’s pretty seemless and doesn’t take much to setup.
I seemed to remember NeuvaSync asking for my Gmail password, but I guess that I must be wrong.

I think you got the security risks exactly wrong. With NuevaSync I did not have to enter my gmail password. The only security risk I see with them is that they have your calendaring information.

With SaiSuke, you actually need to enter your gmail password. I will never do that.

Both seem to me to be equally “new kids on the block”.

[...] The first method is free and uses a service called NuevaSync. NuevaSync allows over the air synchronization to the built in iPhone calendar. It seems like a great service, but I could never get it to work because it requires the iPhone Exchange account to work (you are only allowed to have one Exchange account per phone and mine is used for work email). My roomate has successfully set it up on his phone and he reports that it works well. NuevaSync does not require the user to install any third party software, but does require the user to create an account on the NuevaSync website (security risks?). Instructions for configuring NuevaSync can be found here. (more…) [...]

@ Andy Fuchs -

As useful as that may be, it’s not really relevant to this article, which discusses two solutions for synchronisation straight to / from the iPhone. Using a workaround to Sync iCal with GCal is useful for auto-sync (i.e without plugging in your iPhone) if you have MobileMe, but otherwise not exactly medal-worthy.
