Google Calendar

Hi guys, I've had a look around to see if I can find out anything about syncing Google Calendar entries with Mobile Outlook but have not been able to find anything. Can one of you boffins enlighten me?

Thanks.

Something in the deep, dark recesses of my mind says "GooSync". But that may be completely wrong. Sorry, not a position to search at the moment.

If you still use MS Outlook on your PC, Google now natively supports this:

Sorry, I should have said that I use Ubuntu Linux so it would only have to sync with WM, I use the browser interface on my desktop.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Just checked and GooSync will let you do this from a Polaris device. Never tried it myself. If you are using Ubuntu you should be able to use Thunderbird/Lightening to subsribe to your Google Calendar as well so that you can have desktop access. Then, with GooSync in place you'd be able to make changes to your calendar from the desktop that are automatically reflected on your Windows Mobile device!

Bassey, you are a star. Got lightning working perfectly and when my Orbit 2 arrives will use Goosync to keep everything up to date.

Only discovered this on Monday myself. Pretty cool isn't it?

Hope GooSync works out for you. I know a few people who use it on Symbian devices and like it.
