I use the iGoogle URL to serve a more compact and computer-friendly (as opposed to touch) interface. https://mail.google.com/tasks/a/[domain.com]/ig https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig You can also replace 'ig' with 'android' for the Android's interface, or 'iphone' for the iPhone's (though it may display a message that it's not compatible with your browser). I would also suggest assigning a shortcut key (mine is Alt-T) to make access lightning-quick.

These then get to my iPhone via iTunes syncing (bi-Directional syncing). Its been working beautifully.

It's a great alternative. My only grip is that I can't see today's date at a glance like I could when I had iCal in my dock. I have istat set up in the menu, but it's not the same. Any ideas?

I have istat set up in the menu, but it’s not the same.

Any ideas?

It prompts me to login but when I enter my username and pw it opens a "login error" page in my main browser. Even entering username and pw on that page fails.

Yes, Google Notifier does accomplish the same goal for calendar. Fluid just has a different way of going about it by using the mobile calendar site. Try it out! If you don't like it just delete the app. :) Also, Fluid has a ton of cool customization options if you really want to dig in. Hey CP Stanley.

I settled on MobileMe for a long time, and it worked pretty well with over-the-air synchronization of contacts and calendar information. My issue was the MobileMe's calendar site. It was extremely buggy and limited in functionality. I read about Google Sync, and learned that (for free) I could have all of my contacts and calendar information synchronized between my iPhone and computer(s) automatically over-the-air. I don't even need to use iCal anymore (although it is automatically synced because of CalDAV). I use Fluid (obviously!) instead. I’ve been playing around a lot too.
