Well, although it kind of takes SS out of the loop, you could configure your iPad and iPhone to simply sync with Google Calendar directly via CalDAV. Instructions can be found at http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674
On the iOS devices, it works pretty well, although you don't get any kind of "push" -- instead it will sync up when you open the Calendar app. This doesn't really solve getting Google Calendar into iCal itself, mind you. Although you can set up iCal to access Google Calendar via CalDAV, the results are pretty ugly for secondary calendars, which each alternate calendar being placed in its own calendar group.
