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.

Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.

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.

Syncing Calendars...

Hi,
I use a Mac and Im trying to sync my iCal calendars with Google Calendars so I can check and change them on the move. I have looked online and managed to find a way to link the two so that when I use google calendars it gets updated to my iCal but I cant sync my iCal calendars so they are part of my google calendar(if this makes sense).
What I really need is a way to do this so I dont have to go and create my full calendars all over again for google. If anyone knows a way to do this I'd be very grateful.
On another note does anyone know how to move all my phone contacts to be google contacts on the device? For the life of me I cant find how.
Cheers, Exo

I know there was this issue with other apps on linux, like KOrganizer... It seems that google only allows sync download but no upload... only way to upload to your calendar is login into google and upload the ical or vcal file that you exported from your desktop application

Try Spanning Sync it is a paid application but it works for calendars and contacts

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.

Google calendar problem

Hi
I was using my HTC Calendar but wanted to transfer my Calendar to Google Calendar so that it syncs. I did this successfully and all my appointments show up online on Google Calendar. However, although I can see my appoints for the last two months, prior to that, I can only see calendar entries from added calendars such as UK HOlidays and Contacts Birthdays. My entries from my Calendar are not showiing up on my HTC Hero Calendar, although they are in the Google Calendar online.
Please can someone tell me how I can sync the whole of my Google Calendar to my Calendar on my phone. I want to be able to view the whole Calendar and not just the previous two months.
Thanks.
