I love Google calendar. It has a great interface and excellent integration tools: a lovely little Google Desktop gadget, and it can even accept appointments by email. It is one of those classy Google free tools. What about getting my Palm calendar onto Google? Well, using a convoluted route of syncing with Aircal, and publishing calendar feeds I can even get my Palm calendar data up onto Google Calendar. (Aircal is great by the way. Google if you are reading this consider buying them). But It's Google's interface and integration that make it so good. The twisted method to get Palm syncing to Google via Aircal really is lame.
The big unanswered question is therefore, when will we see a good Sync tool between Palm OS and Google calendar?
I'm sure developers read this blog and we the users want to ask you, are you working on this?
To Palm Inc., is anyone there working on a little Palm conduit you might release for beta testing?
Developers in Google Calendar, do you read this blog? Do you use a Palm? Are you guys working on a Palm sync tool?
Or any other developers working on this? Can you at least tell us how is it going? Is it difficult writing a sync tool for Palm and Google Cal?
This is a blog - where the masses can talk to the heart of companies developing these products. We want to hear from you. Send Sammy an email, or talk even talk to us in the forum.
ps. I know there is Companion Link - but it seems to be a partially function expensive solution. We need a free sync tool in the Google spirit of excellent free tools that just work.
pps. I know also that you Mac folks with Missing Sync and iCal are sniggering right now... and well you should too, macs are just way too cool.
Thanks for listening,
Your humble Palm using public.
