Hi Larry, Thanks for your prompt reply. And glad to hear that it -should- work ;) I don't know what caused the strange behavior, just that it happened I could add an event from the Pre, and it would dutifully push it on to Google and iCal, but it would not show up on the phone .... I mean NOTHING showed on the PRE, from any calender, Google or Zimbra or Palm. I agree that the Pre should just read what is on Google, and not care who else is pushing data to Google, but I thought I'd double check with you guys in case there was any history with this kind of thing. I am willing to try it again, though last time required a complete wipe and reinstall of the phone to get it working. Maybe over the weekend ;) I'll let you know.
