Finally, it let me post! Just use CalDav on the iPhone. It now supports bi-directional push.

This is more information than I bargained for, thankyou for the in-depth solution to calendar sync. I don't think it's worth it paying for any service so I have to agree with you and stick with the free ones.

I found the google calendar sync a little difficult to understand, so I googled it and found a good write-up on it, if anyone elese is having trouble with it ihere's the link. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/apple/sync-iphone-or-ipod-touch-calendar-and-contacts-with-google/

Apreche. iPhone is relatively very young. Frankly it has implemented features that have taken years upon years upon years of even Windows Mobile to get right, in the space of a year or two. The whole thing doesn't suck, Apple is not at 'fault', you just need to get a view on it!

On an interesting note, Google Calendar and Contacts will now sync directly with your iPhone over the air, using MS Exchange protocols, without the need for a middle-man such as nuevasync.

See here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252

Or for my blog post about it, see http://hazymat.co.uk/2009/02/11/google-brings-us-closer-to-the-multiple-device-sync-dream/

Hope that helps someone.

So far there is still no solution for me.

I don't have a Mac, so I can't use spanning sync.

I don't have Outlook, so I can't use any of those options that require it.

I have my iPhone Exchange account configured to read my work e-mail. That prevents me from using Nuevasync. Also, I don't like the idea that my Calendar goes from Google to Nuevasync's server, and then to my phone. I want my data to go directly from Google to me, nobody else in-between.

The whole thing sucks. I say it's Apple's fault. Why not more than one Exchange account? Why not support for calendars from other sources? Obviously this is a feature in high demand.

I like Plaxo a lot. I was a subscriber already, but thanks for helping me realize that this solution works for this problem. I have a lot of contacts to manage, and I like Plaxo for that, too. Thanks. JKB

the problem with nuevasync is it uses msft exchange, and i already have 1 exchange account setup for my school. So this is not an option for me.

Why cant Apple come out of the box to sync with Google calendars? I'd expect more from them.

I've been using Nuevasync. It does it right, period. I see little point in looking at or discussing anything else. If anybody thinks that Nuevasync is not doing it exactly right, speak up now.

The Plaxo solution is awesome. Works like a charm. Will stick to this until Apple grows up.

Thanks! -D

For those wondering about lightning/sunbird sync I've been playing around with how to do this from multiple computers and have it all wind up on my ipod touch.

Nuevasync is great for getting the data to the phone. I'm finding the most universal way to get nuevasync loaded from my windows computers is google calendars/gmail contacts. I've been feeding mozilla lightning/sunbird from google calendars using the "provider for gcal" add-in. To get my contacts up I have tried both Plaxo free accounts and am currently trying out zindus thunderbird extension to get my thunderbird account into gmail contacts. There are pluses and minuses to both Plaxo and Zindus but at least Zindus does 2-way contact sync.

Was wanting to sync my gCal with my new iPhone and found the NuevaSync here. Works flawlessly! Thanks so much.

Bloody Brilliant, cheers David Boreham... Nuevasync does it beautifully, and here I was thinking I'd need to Jailbreak and find some app to do it! Thank goodness it was that easy... creating new events etc from phone updates on my Google Apps Calendar straight away... and best of all it displays ALL my calendars, I don't even need to specify which ones, feeds etc (though I guess for some it might be handy to so you can choose what to display) Anyway great stuff :)

Saw David Boreham's post and tried his Nuevasync suggestion. I updated google calendar and the changes were reflected on my iPod Touch's calendar app and then did the opposite. Both worked very well. Thanks!

If/when you have the iPhone 2.0 software, you will be able to use Nuevasync to do over-the-air sync with Google (calendar and contacts). Configure the iPhone's 'Exchange sync' capability to point to the Nuevasync server.

I am not willing to pay any money and dont want to make an account for anything so the only one is remote calendars. I have Outlook 2007 on Windows Vista 32-bit, yet the toolbar does not show up in Outlook when i install Remote Calendars. I have tried what google offers, the program that supposedly sync GCal and Outlook, but with that my events don't show up in Outlook.

Well there is a better solution than these now. I say better but not good. Google them selfs now offer a 2-way (or 1-way if you like) sync solution to outlook, (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955&topic=13948&intention=13946)

With this and iTunes you woul get it half the way. But I am amazed there are no support to at least subscribe to iCal directly on the iPhone. I mean how hard could it be?
