iPhone over-the-air calendar syncing without MobileMe

So, it seems that Google now has CalDAV support, which means that Apple’s iCal application can natively sync two-way with Google Calendar without any (sorry Spanning Sync!) third party applications!

CalDAV setup instructions for iCal

Once you’ve got that setup, and you can use it with calendars others have shared with you (and they seem to follow the same permissions perfectly), you can simply modify the calendars in iCal.

These calendars will sync beautifully with the iPhone iCal application, however you cannot make modifications to them from the iPhone. I did notice that when adding something using the iPhone gCal interface it very quickly appeared on my desktop iCal. So I might just stick with gCal/iPhone+iCal. It’s not a bad solution for free :-D

@dshafik Anytime tools are released that give just anyone the ability to do something without coding, programmers see a pay cut in contracts

@fasterkitty I think that depends on the quality of the apps the Flash folks put out...

@fasterkitty from what I hear, they are already culling apps that violate the Desktop/Widget rule. For example: http://bit.ly/cb3l0B
