It is true if you sync with google via CalDAV and then sync these to your iPhone via iTunes. However, it is not true if you sync to Google directly from you iPhone via Google's Exchange servers. If you do this you get on-the-fly sync between Google and your iPhone without having to connect to your computer AND you can edit your Google calendars directly on your iPhone. SpanningSync seems to selectively pick the one scenario (iTunes sync to Google CalDAV) which does not work, when this is not the best way to use Google Calendar on your iPhone. Nor do they mention this alternative setup.
However, despite the fact that I find Calendar sync works better this way, I still find myself preferring SpanningSync for AddressBook sync on Snow Leopard. Why? Because when I tried to use the Snow Leopard method it wanted to create hundreds of duplicate contacts and contact information on my Mac, without giving me any control over how this was to be done, certainly no one-way sync. So, for now, SpanningSync still seems to have some advantages for AddressBook sync. -L On Sep 3, 10:25 am, Larry Hendricks <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ara, > > On Sep 2, 5:58 am, Ara <[email protected]> wrote: > > > If I have my iPod Touch set to sync with google, then the calendar is > > fully editable (even with the out of the box Snow Leopard solution > > between Mac and Google) > > Are you sure?
