For yonks now I’ve wanted to do proper 2 way sync of my iCal on my mac and pretty much anything, it’s thus far been a virtual island and therefore useless.
I’ve it syncing with my Windows Mobile 5 devices using The Missing Sync which is ok, but not all I want yet, since I am not always by my phone. It also does not answer the sharing problem, I want to have a shared calendar with my SO and thusfar it was just not possible.
Today the fine people at Spanning Sync opened their public beta of a tool that syncs – bi-directional – Google Calendar and iCal. This means I can have my Google Calendar, share it with my SO and use Spanning Sync on both macs to sync to iCal. iCal is a much better interface to use for her than the web interface so this way everyone is happy.
Spanning Sync is still in Beta, final pricing is not finalised yet but judging by the influx of people to their systems and my own experience I’d say they hit the jackpot.
