Synchronise Google Contacts / Calendar

Hello,
I would like to know if somthings exists (like ActiveSync) to synchronise your contacts and Calendar with Gmail ?

AFAIK this is the best thing so far...
I've read that there's a team at Google workign on this already but for now we have this:
http://www.grinn.net/blog/dev/2006/04/incorporate-google-calendar-into.html

I watched the link you sent me but the sync is a one way sync from google calendar to Outlook and then to your PDA. It seems to be the only thing existing for the moment.
Waiting for Google to correct this has they always do
I found this adress from google, listing all the APIs you can use to make applications working with the Google web sites and softs :
<http://code.google.com>
It could be useful to someone if he wants to make this kind of synch tool...

It seems rather weird that if you were to key in appointments on your phone which will not be appearing on the google calendar. It be a good idea to have your calendar to be published onto a website where everyone can see your schedule (if you let them) or at least they wil know when you will be busy or not.
Even the google works, you still need to have a google account to view the time table.

Syncing with Google Calendar

Has anyone been able to successfully sync with Google Calendar? I'd like to try goosync.com but I wasn't sure if it was a reliable service. Over the air syncing is a great feature id like...

I found this today, and it works for me.
http://code.google.com/p/pocketgcal/
Not enough experience to know how it handles conflicts.
I did notice that my google calendar synced up to my wm5 calendar, and my wm5 calendar synced to my groupwise calender (via intellisync mobile suite).
So looks good!

Try this instead..the freeware version suites my needs fine...no third party..just the phone and google calendar..and supports repeating events which some of the others don't...
http://oggsync.com/
Has both an installer and a cab.

Any luck using oggsync with WM6
Has anyone had any luck using oggsync with WM6? I am having problems getting it to connect and was wondering if anyone had a fix for this yet? Thanks for reading.

i used goosync or whatever its called a while back and had to uninstall it. i had duplicates of every event in my calender. each time i synced it would just make another copy. not to mention the billions off notification reminders. i had to end up erasing everything and starting from scratch.
that was my personal experirence

Yahoo/Google/MSN Sync to WM

Wondering if there is any application or development in xda-developers that looks into sync Yahoo, Google or MSN contacts/addessbook and calendars/appointment to Windows Mobile for offline usage.
Currently, I am using Yahoo as my primary online usage. There is a recent application from Yahoo Go! that allows me to sync address/contact to my WM but NOT the calendar/appointment.
It would be great if I can do similar to the rest of Google and MSN as well.

Google Calendar sync is on the todo of OtO (look in sig) I can't promise when but I need it so i'll do it, probably after the basic views are done so in a version or two

several options
there are several options for that already:
check out oggsync for example: http://oggsync.com/

You could also try plaxo, www.plaxo.com they can sync with most of those you want and it can be synced to wm via outlook or via a new plugin installed on your pda that they have on labs.plaxo.com (currently only contacts though).
Its based on technology from www.funambol.com which also seems like it might do it, but I can't get an invite to try out their service.

Google calendar app without Google server?

As you know, Google don't have to/must not know everything, especially calendar entries of buisyness man.
I don't want google to know my appointments a.s.o.!
Is it possible to use the google calendar on the phone without synchronizing with the Google server but sync with the personal outlook?
Perhaps there is a independent calendar app, don't need to access the htc or google calendar, but is able to sync with outlook... AND is able to set appointments as private?
Perhaps it is possible to have my own "google server" for me and my family at home?

There's absolutely no need for synchronizing with google, you can always uncheck it if you don't want it and only synchronize with Outlook.
And there's also no need to even use the built-in calendar application, there are others in the market.
You just have to have a Google account, but that doesn't mean you have to give google your appointment details.
I don't know if there's an application where you can set your appointments as private, at least for Exchange server it is not possible, unfortunately.

I've not found a stand alone calendar application in the market with their own database. If you know one please tell me.
All calendars i found use the build-in google or htc calendarDatabase.

Yes, that's possible, I may be wrong. But still, with the built-in calendar you don't have to sync with your google calendar. If you just sync with Outlook, even though you'll see your appointments in the Google calendar app, they won't be synchronized with your Google account.

I use the HTC calendar app and sync it to my PC's outlook calendar and HTCSync. Same with my contacts. Don't go anywhere near Google for any of that

Yes, the htc calendar is a stand-alone app. But if you use your business calendar for privat, too, you need the possibility to set appointments as privat. And the htc calendar isn't capable of that.
