Hell yeah. I’ve been waiting for this moment for at least a year. Today, after several failed attempts over the last few months, I finally managed to get Google Calendar and my Outlook calendar on my PDA synchronized.
I initially tried using CompanionLink for Google but couldn’t get that working, despite several emails with their very responsive technical support team.
Finally I turned to ScheduleWorld’s Funambol solution and got that working, again after several emails with their very responsive technical support team.
I could go into detail about how it works, but EngTech has done a terrific job here.
Why does it matter? Well now I can expose my Free/Busy times to anyone, anywhere in the world, using Google Calendar, and I think I can save myself several hours a week of “does this time suit you?” emails.
Hey Cam how does it handle timezones? My biggest issues facing me with CampanionLink has been timezone issues. For example I have meetings scheduled by people in Hong Kong, London, Toronto, Dallas etc and the timezones get all mucked up.
dunno mate havent noticed a problem yet.
I had a fiddle around with it. I can’t quite figure out how to sync it with google but after randomly pressing buttons for a bit it did sync. Although the first time around it only synced half of it…
Seems alright its not really all that useful for me because no one ever wants to schedule a meeting with me but I can see how it could be handy.
