My calendar nirvana May 1, 2006
Posted by James Webster in : web, google, apple , 1 comment so farI’m somewhat late to the party I guess, but I have been bitten by the Google Calendar bug. I think it was being able to type “Bill’s birthday party this saturday at 6pm for three and a half hours” into the Quick Add box and IT JUST WORKED. Wow.
For some time I have been using iCal for all my appointments. I have been successfully sync’ing it with my mobile phone (Nokia 6600) and publishing the calendar to my host where I can also read it (but alas, not edit) using PHP iCalendar. Events created on my mobile phone are successfully synchronized with my iCal store, thanks to iSync.
All I need now is synchronization with Google Calendar. Its easy enough to subscribe to .ics files created by Calendar in iCal. But when will I be able to enter events into iCal and have them synchronized via the Calendar API? I have a feeling that Syncbridge might solve this problem sooner rather than later. Then my calendar synchronization nirvana will be complete. Oh, apart from a voice recognition interface to the Quick Add feature!
