Synchronizing Google Calendar with the Palm Datebook (and Datebk6) without using Outlook

[Bert Latamore]

Since I don't use Outlook and use Gmail as my business email system, I have found that the Google Calendar is a good Outlook substitute for accepting and managing meeting invitations. But at this point I am still hand entering those into my Palm calendar, which holds everything else. So I wondered if anyone was syncing the Google Calendar with the Palm calendar (and therefore also to Datebk6 which uses the Palm's calendar database) without using Outlook, which I do not have on my Vaio UX (and do not want). If not I will continue hand entering onto the Palm, which is not that big a deal (I don't have that many business meetings).

I'm using GooSync to sync directly to my Treo 800w, it might work for
Palm OS devices too.

Bert, another option is CompanionLink for Google Calendar.

I've used this with PalmDesktop version 4 and 6 and it works quite
well. You can specify which of the calendars in your google account
you want to sync.

The downside is that it costs $30, but there is a trial period you can
use to check it out. You might also find some coupon codes to bring
the price down as well.

Speaking of that, I wonder if someone has tried to sync from Google
Calendar to the Nokia PC Suite. I use a Nokia 40 series and I wonder
if I can keep track of my appointments from work (also moved from
Outlook to GA) at my phone.

Thanks in advance,

Luis.
