Best wishes in finding a suitable no-cost replacement. Al, sorry that AirSet doesn’t look like it will pan out for you. Best wishes in finding a suitable no-cost replacement.

A recent note from the head honcho indicates that AirSet desktop sync will now become a premium service. No indication what the price is going to be, but I don't think I can fit it into my budget. My wife and I have had great success with AirSet keeping our (and our kids') schedules on our individual Palm devices. I guess now I'm looking for a new solution.

Airset is the way to go! Summary: Create a free airset account and you can sync Palm Desktop with your airset calendar. The sync tool has options so you can choose to sync manually or automatically too. Then, you can share and publish your airset calendar as an ics. Goto Google Calendar and subscribe to your airset calendar and you are good to go! (recurring meetings seem to be working now). Now, your Google cal will automatically be updated each time you do an airset sync. Hey Bruce… success!!! Airset is the way to go! Summary:

Sounds like a workable solution, though. A bit surprising that the recurring events are not being treated properly, but hopefully airset support will help you with this. It does sound like you are onto something. Keep us posted on how it works out for you. Thank you. Hi John,

I stumbled accross airset.com and think I'm onto something! Have you tried this? It syncs with no issues to my Palm and then you can publish a .ics that Google can subscribe to (although I didn't see my recurring events when I subscribed). You can also export your whole cal as an .ics that can be imported by Google. This worked well and I think I'm satisfied! I have been on the same quest as you for the past several months.

Sounds like an incredibly clean and simple way to manage all of your stuff. I have heard some good things about goosync, but haven't tried it yet myself. Perhaps it's time for me to get off my arse and give it a shot. BTW, I'll probably reference your comment in a post I have drafted for publication tomorrow. Also, I like your website.

My Gone Google strategy is that I try to keep everything I can on Google, including email, calendar, documents, feed reader, and news preferences. I get access to the same set of information wherever I am. I use GooSync to sync my Google Calendar with my Pocket PC. Although Google Calendar offers a WAP and SMS interface and SMS appointment alerts, the Pocket PC native calendar offers a much better user experience.

I updated the post to add your correction to my erroneous "no hosted exchange with iPhone." Good point, too, that you can add an iPod into the equation. Thanks for this, Thomas.

There is an option in Entourage that allows you to sync it with both iCal and Address Book on the Mac. Then you can get that data into any other application that uses iSync, including the iPhone. I use it to keep my Exchange contacts and calendar on my iPod and it works very well. Actually, you can sync Exchange with iCal and Address Book on the Mac by using Entourage.
