Comments on: Syncing your Google and Outlook calendars

Google Calendar Sync, a free utility from the search giant, makes it easy to keep your Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook calendar on the same page. There are a few caveats, though.

I use Google Calendar Sync quite a bit. I have it installed on my work virtual machine so it can keep Outlook updated. Then I have it installed on my personal system that I sync my iPhone to via a copy of Outlook that's just used for syncing the iPhone.

On top of that, I use Googles Calaboration app for my Mac to keep iCal synced!

Now, no matter where I add or delete an event, it shows up in the right place. The BEST part of all of this is that my wife can add entries to my Google Calendar from her Mac and it shows up in Outlook and on my iPhone.

It's the sync nirvana I've been looking for for years. There's a couple of minor bugs, but all in all, it works well.

Hello there Mr. Dennis O'Reilly!

Great article. Congrats!

I am a hard Google services user. G Docs, G Mail, G Calendar, etc.

As an IT/Engineer professional, I keep my PC, notebook, mobile, all sync.

Regarding calendar, I am using G Calendar + Outlook sync for some days, and it works great. Even when I access it using my mobile.

Have you ever consider using "Remember The Milk" with G Calendar and even G Mail ?
(and even access RTM using mobile)

Hum, but today I read some article that mentioned tasks services at G Mail.
(see at Seetings>Labs, and insert it at G Mail).

I am such a huge fan and evangelist about using services at mult-platform: desktop, notebook, and mobile.

And welcome cloud computing!! :)

Best regards,

Um, let me get this straight, you think that Google should write a Windows-killing desktop operating system based on the fact that they wrote a handy utility? I hope that was a joke.

With Google Talk Lab's Edition, you can be notified via pop-up of meetings, as well as snooze them.
