Like many people in world, its an effort to stay organized, and to get all the tech gadgets you own - desktop/laptops, cell-phones, pda's all supporting this common objective. Right now, I've been using Palm Desktop (which keeps my desktop and palm tx speaking the same language, and synchronized more or less very well). However, this system falls short of the major feature of "calendaring" systems - allowing more than one individual to synchronize schedules together (e.g. there are many systems businesses use that allow this - Google Calendar, CorporateTime, etc).
Even, a (by all indications) popular (and free) service like Google Calendar is great by itself - but how can you integrate it with your pda? Since I use and am very happy using Palm Desktop (the time management & calendaring system that comes standard with palm pda's), I want to synchronize these two systems.
Techno-blogger Ah Knight has a set of instructions which I've followed to the T and the system works very well:
- assume that you already have google calendar account
- register an Airset account and create a new group
- one group for one calendar ( in google calendar we can have multiple calendar )
- select the new created group , choose Calendar -> Subscribe to a Calendar, enter your ical address of your google calendar, starting from now it will fetch the changes that you add through google calendar
- Download the Airset Desktop Syn and follow the instruction to syn Airset calendar to desktop palm application
- repeat the same thing for other calendar, now your palm will have all the appointment that you mark on google calendar
Now If I could just synchronize my contacts list with my cell-phone I'd be set...
