Spanning Sync allows my iCal entries to sync to Google Calendar. I don't have to wait for Apple and Google to get on the same page.

    has anyone actually tried this?



    keeping my gCal on my mac would be nice, but mainly I would love to have a way to keep my blackberry cal in sync with gCal, and it looks like syncing through my mac would be a way to do this. (I have tried several of the over-the-air offerings to no avail.)

    Oh it works...it's just expensive ($25 a year or one time $65 cost). I'm holding out because likely Apple and Google will be getting cozy together in the near future and this functionality may come for free.

    I tried it during the beta... it was so horrible I vowed never to install it again... even when it came out. That was not a beta... it wasn't even Alpha worthy.

    All good points and suggetions, thanks. I think I'll have a go at the "free beer" solution before I plunk down my $.

    Maybe its just me, but it looked like a very advanced install process? Did I download the wrong version because it seems too advanced for my taste. Any thoughts on the difficulty of this install or am I just an idiot?
