I’m yet to find a suitable method of syncing my Palm Zire with my Google Calendars, at least one that allows syncing both ways. I’m not really ready to start having my Zire with me until I can do this - I’d also like to be able to sync my PalmOS contacts with the GMail contacts, but that might never occur.
I did discover something cool today, however. Google Calendar supports SMS reminders. Including to Australian phones.
Now, this might not seem like much, but in Australia, we don’t pay to receive SMS messages, only to send them. Thus, I can set up Google SMS reminders at no cost to myself.
Whoops, there goes a reminder. It’s lunch time, according to that message…
I don’t recall whether you’re a Mac or PC man, but if you are a Mac person, keep an eye out for Spanning Sync which is currently in private (soon to e public) beta testing which is aiming to sync google calendars with iCal bi-directionally with plans afoot to sync address books as soon as google make the API available to them.

I am a Mac man, and thanks for the reminder of what that app will be called. I saw it somewhere else, and I’m looking forward to it.
Didn’t know about the Address Book stuff though.

Matthew,
I just stumble accros GooSync in public beta which claims to sync any mobile device with google calendar. I’m yet to try it out but it sounds promising. Will check it out when I get the chance. If you beat me to it let us know if it works out.

I saw this also, but there are some issues that are a bit of a concern - the first and foremost is that it requires you to give your Google Account details to them.

I’ve set up a dummy account to play with it a little.
