In case you haven’t heard yet, Google now makes it possible to synch all your iCal data to your Google Calendar account.
So Mac users can now take advantage of all the OS X integration features of iCal, and still have their data up to date in their Google Calendar account, which they probably obliged to use at work to share data with non-Mac colleagues. Two way synching is supported, so enter your event in either source and moments later the other one gets it. And maybe you have 10 or so Google calendars, no probs, you can add them all to iCal.
Great to hear this news as I was just on the edge of paying $25 for the un-named commercial product that also manages similar synchronisation.
And if you’re really keen you can setup a mobile me account, so any dates entered in your iPhone 3G also get synched to your iCal and Google calendars. I guess it won’t be long before your iPhone senses that it’s lunchtime, knows your location and schedule, and suggests a list of highly rated Indian restaurants in your area, knowing what cuisine you love ?
