(Below is a solution for getting iSync to sync iCal’s “delegate” calendars from Google Calendar onto a mobile phone. Feel free to skip all the blurby bit at the top if you’re not interested in my life story.)
My job means sitting in front of a computer all day, playing with the internet. There are of course times when I leave my desk, or need to use a different computer, and then it’s nice to still have the same tools to hand. So I’ve put my diary onto Google Calendar, so that it’s available wherever I am. Nice.
Oh no, wait a minute. I also need that same calendar on my mobile phone. So far there is no bridge directly between Google Calendar and my Motorola L6, unless I load up Google Calendar on my phone’s browser – but that costs me money because I’m on a PAYG tariff and I don’t get any free data, so that’s out of the question (not least because it’s far from instant, even using the incredible Opera Mini browser and its clever servers). So, that means having the calendars on iCal as well, so that I can use iSync to copy everything across. And here’s where it all gets rather complicated.
