Google Calendar now supports Apple iCal (googlemac.blogspot.com)

Two questions for people who tried this feature:

1. Does this support syncing multiple Google Calendars? Last I checked, if you have multiple calendars, you had to set up multiple CalDAV connections. CalDAV itself supports multiple calendars easily, but the Google implementation just served up one.

2. Does this sync with an iPhone? BusySync lets me connect iCal to Google Calendar in a way that iPhone calendar edits go back to Google on a sync, i.e., does the right thing. (Setting aside the absurdity of having to connect an Internet-capable phone to a computer to sync to an Internet service.)


Bad news for Spanning Sync.


I can't imagine it's a surprise to them though... and since I know many people who bought Spanning Sync, I imagine they made a pretty penny on sales up until now. If they bet the farm on future sales, that'd be quite a strategic mistake.


Actually, I've been syncing my Google Calendar with iCal for several months now. The news seems to be a utility to make setting up the URLs for the webdav interface easy for iCal users.


Can I sync iCal, MobileMe, and Google Calendar?


On a similar topic... does anyone know of a _Windows_ calendar client that works with iCal Server?



That list fails to mention that only the newest iCal (that shipped with Leopard) will work.
