Google Calendar now supports iCal

Calaboration and iCal
When it comes to using iCal, one of the biggest issues from many users was all of the not so pleasant work-arounds they had to go through to sync their iCal calendar with Google Calendar so they could get it anywhere, or vice versa. That is no longer an issue. A recent application introduction for Google Calendars now fully supports the CalDAV protocol, which will allow integration between these two scheduling applications. Some of the tasks you can complete include syncing the two scheduling programs, operating offline, and answering invitations from other users.

This is currently available through an open source download via Google Code under the name of Calaboration.  It only works in Mac OS X Leopard because the CalDAV protocol was introduced in that version of Apple’s operating system. That said, it looks like a nice solution to the syncing problem. It’s always nice to see open source developers taking problems into their own hands and spending their own time to create software that will help us, the end users, out.
