Hi!
I am desperatly waiting for some application to do that : TRUE DIRECT syncing between my Axim (WM2003) and Google Calendar (with NO Pc or Outlook involved). That means if I do something in the Google Calendar it will change on my Axim. If I change it on my Axim it will upload the changes to Google Calendar next time I am online.

So far:

*Snoopsoft Webcalendar: doesn't merge them and doesn't sync. Just display your
google calendar on Today screen. Let you edit them just when you are online.

*CompanionLink for Google Calendar: This could be but haven't tried yet. I think it needs outlook on the PC and that is not what I am looking for.

*Golook: It doesn't sync!! It updates one calendar by overwriting Data inside target calendar from the source. Maybe in the future...

*GooSync: I dont know if i should trust this... have a middle server and requires registration and I let them access my Google data...and it have a lot Terms,conditions and disclaimer...

*CalSyncUm: THIS would be perfect... but only for WM5 (I have WM2003)

*OggSync: THIS could be too... but only for WM5

OTHER:
Some people mention Remote Calendars but that is to sync Outlook.
GCalsync: Interesting but for mobile phones.
ScheduleWorld with Funambol: Another server in the middle, quite hard to use.

CONCLUSION: Still no satisfactory solution. I am sure it will come. It can't be that complicated.

BTW: Do anybody know if you can export the calendar data from the PocketPC directly and then import that into Google Calendar? I guess you can export the data through Outlook, but I don't use it.
Thanks and hopes this helps.

Are you dead set on using Google Calendar ? Yahoo now has their Yahoo Go! for PPC's which will sync your PDA calendar with the Yahoo calendar.

Likewise, Plaxo calendar online has a mobile sync client available. I use Plaxo because my work allows Plaxo but not Activesync. I sync my desktop with Plaxo (one button click while in Outlook) and then sync my Axim with plaxo via the internet.

Thanks guys for the info ... but I use Google Calendar. Probably patience would be my best friend. I know it will happen .... soon hopefully!

There's a service called GooSync (http://groups.google.com/group/goosync) which is supposed to do this, though it's a beta service and goodness knows who they are.

This is a bit complicated of a procedure for just a one-way sync, but perhaps it would be a step in the right direction.
FinchSync allows syncing to Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning or Sunbird. These can read Google iCal data. You can then sync to your Mozilla setup via wifi to an IP address. That said, there are major problems -
1. Very much one way
2. FinchSync won't work with the remote calenders directly because Sunbird changed it format in v0.3. I haven't figured a way to automate Sunbird to update its calendars and publish them to the desktop file.

3. To make sure all changes go through (as I'm syncing in several directions - Google -> Sunbird ->Axim -> Exchange) I usually have to sync several times. It's a bit worrisome, but seems to work overall.

Here's a new option (I'm going to try it out myself) GmobileSync http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-...sync-v1-1.html

It does work, though only for the default calendar for a given user name - and on WM5, sorry

Thanks parelle. I was thinking about upgrading my X50v to WM5 after so much reading about hacks and the possibility of a new Dell ROM coming tomorrow....
GMobileSync is free and is new and seems to being updated fast!
Also it seems to do what I want.
Thanks.
