After I couldn't find an app to sync iCalendars with pocket outlook, I decided to make my own. Note: it IS buggy and not complete (eg ALPHA). Use at your own risk but it works fine on my PPC-6700 using a google calendar.
It supports syncing normal events as well as all day and weekly recurring events (eg every week on m,w,f) I designed it so that it can run on a timer in the background and update whenever or you can trigger it yourself. I'm not a pro developer so its not the best in the world but it works for me!
Also, it doesn't delete anything from your phone, only adds new items or updates existing ones (keys off of the title of the appointment).
I plan on posting it up on a sourceforge site soon and making the code public.
Attached is a screenshot of the interface. Yes, very simple.
Instructions: To install, download the attached cab, copy the cab to your device and browse to it and tap it to install.
Then you can configure it with the url (I recomend copy and paste from a text message or something if the url is long) select if you want it to auto update or not and if so, how often. Make sure you save the settings so they are stored for the next running.
Very good idea !
I was just thinking how I could sync Google calendar with Pocket Outlook
A question before I try : which url do you enter ?
When I browse Google calendar on my PC I get : http://www.google.com/calendar/render
Is that it ?
I probably should've mentioned that. For google calendar, go to settings, calendars, then click the calendar you want to import, and under private address click ical. Then copy and paste the url it gives to a text message and send it to the device so you can copy and paste it into the app (thats what I did).
Ok thanks.
I'll test your app tomorrow morning
This is a great app. Do you think you can make an update on google side, ie pocket pc overwrite the google calendar. It doesn't need to be a full sync at the beginning, but this would be a great addition
At least being able to sync appoints from the device to the google calendar would be great, no need to necessarily wipe them. That is, a bi-directional sync, with no delete. If an appointment needs to be deleted, it would just need to be deleted from both locations.
Generally sync apps have the following types of options:
Local -> Remote (No delete)
Local -> Remote (Delete remote entries that are not present locally)
Remote -> Local (No delete)
Remote -> Local (Delete local entries that are not present remotely)
Remote -> Local / Local -> Remote (Do not delete any entries)

Any news on this?
Posting code to sourceforge
Hi,
Could you please post your code to sourceforge. This way we could help you develop this piece of software. Would be appreciated.
Regards,
Gerard
Any word on this? I'm anxious to see/start working on it.
I was just looking for something like this! I will try it when I get home from work. Hope to see continued development.
This app is great and exactly what I was looking for. I have been using it for a couple weeks now.
One thing, I noticed that it only pulls in the first 50+ characters of the appointment's description. Is there a way we can get the whole description?
Is there any update on the status of this project? Is going to be put on Sourceforge? I would gladly contribute to working on it.
Thanks
Josh

I had the same problem. I got the .net compact framework from below:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6B-356B-4A2C-857C-E62F50AE9A55&displaylang=en
I wonder if the developer of this app is still around.
Chanced my arm and tried it with WM6 on a TyTn-II ... started and ran OK, but then got errors regarding file layout / format.
Not sure if these are because I am on WM6 and the app is written for WM5, or if the ics file ( from Google Calendar ) is in a format the app doesn't like. I think more likely the former, as the post seems to indicate it was written with GCal in mind.
So, has anyone else had any luck with this in WM6, or even know of something similar. Don't need two way sync with device, just a way to dump my GCal onto my handheld.
Cheers,

No matter, oggsync seems to work for me, as I have tinkered with my GCal calendars a bit to have all my key stuff in one, so I can use the freeware version of oggsync
Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.
Cheers

Me too- Win mobile 6.1 on a Tilt, no good. Call method errors.
I just tried it on my HP iPaq 614C (wm6), and it worked great. Thanks!

Tried it, got errors. I also would really like to see this come alive again, don't want to use Google Cal in any way. Using Rainlendar desktop cal on my 2 pc's with a common ics file on the ftp server. Works perfectly, but would also like to keep my phone up to date automaticly/semi automaticly.
I am so confused...
What is the difference between the two? Doesn't Windows Live Mobile come with Windows Live Search?
I heard that Windows Live Mobile syncs your MSN contacts over and duplicates it in your contacts list, I DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
What version should i use of each program if I don't want the contact duplication problem? I am using the AX3L cooked rom on my Trinity, can some please help to shine some light into this? There seems to be so many different builds and versions for this that i have read. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Microsoft has really confusing branding.
Windows live search is microsoft's search engine at live.com
Windows live search mobile is a program for mobiles that is basically a mapping/local search program
Windows live messenger is an program for mobiles that is basically an IM/Email program that works with your MSN account. I think this program is also labeled as "MSN" on some devices/installations.
Does that clear things up?
I would like to use Excel Mobile in my Diamond to retrieve data found on web pages - this is something I can do easily on my desktop pc, but not on Excel Mobile. Is there a workaround - ie can I save a web page as an html file that can be then read by ExcMob? Or maybe even a different spreadsheet that allows web access/data retrieval?
If neither, is this something that would interest anyone on this forum to take a look at?
Thanks
Nikos
Not sure if this is what you want but its much better than excel mobile (not freeware)....

Excel mobile
Thanks Omareo for the suggestion. It looks good but the site has no information on the specific feature I am looking for. Have you used it? If so, can you retrieve web data (from Yahoo for instance) on to the spreadsheet via a query?
Im really not sure about that, but you can download a trial

There are a few notepad applications on the marketplace but they are sub-par IMO. No, dreamweaver or anything like it is not on Android.
Export your contacts and upload them to your Google account "contacts" section then sync your phone.
Hallo *, saving/synchnizing data doesn't seams to be easy with android.
I find many hints for google and HTC sync and much more hints to many apps. Signal for me, that there is something missing. I missed it too.
My problem:
a) I like to save data in typical file Format (cvs..., flat file)
b) I like to save them private and secure.
HTC sync. use Adobe and that tool needs my 'ok' sharing my network, sending Spam... no way for me.
Experiences using google temporary sending data and exporting from that tool doesn't work. I create all the Data (contact and appointments - aContacts and Jorte) in the telefon not using google account - there are no function to export telefon data, in my opinion.
Onybody here with knowledges or same problems? Thanks for any hint.
help
i am not sure but try:
http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/market/apps/app/androidapp.expcontacts/ExportContacts its free
but maybe exports just google contacts - iam not sure -
That tool supports only basic fields for Address Data and maybee only Google Data.
I'm searching for something storing all data - contacts and also appointments.
Any experiences with MyBackup? Is it possible to save non Google Data?
info
It is definitiv a good tool - but it works only 30 days - then you have to purchuase it.
I used it in the past an it works well.
But i dont now to backup contacts whitch are not google contacts.
Info
