Google Calendar Integration
As I have already mentioned, I love integration. I have Google Calendar set up to use Exchange server to sync with my iPhone. I also have a Google Sync application for my PC so that Outlook syncs with Google Calendar as well. If that isn’t enough, I can also add events from calendar.google.com and have them pushed to both my phone and my PC (this works in other combinations as well).
I have now discovered that there is a Windows Gadget for Google Calendar. Not only can I have integration with Outlook, my phone, and the web interface, but I can also have a gadget on my desktop that gives me a quick glance at all of my appointments and also expands for more details.
Here is a picture of the gadget:
And here is the gadget expanded:
The gadget is called Google Calendar Agenda. I highly recommend this gadget for people who use Windows, even as an aside to Linux or OSX.
thank you for the info on your blog.
I have a BB and wife has an iPhone.
when i send her a calender apt from either my BB or Outlook 07 it arrives to the iPhone in an undetectable file format called mime-attachment.ics.
the iPhones onboard calender cant open and inject the calendered event.
i have searched for an iphone app or other way to achieve this w/o luck.
maybe you know of a way to do it?
thank for any help you can provide.

Hmm.. I’m not sure. I do know that the iPhone can’t directly inject it, as you said.
I do know that Google’s Sync Exchange server for iPhone allows the user to accept requests straight from the iPhone in the calendar application. Maybe you could find a way to get it sent to Google Calendar or the exchange server?
