» iCal and Google calendar in sweet harmony from Gate 303
iCal is nice, but you dont have your Mac with you always. Google Calendar is nice, but you dont have a internet connection all the time. Soon you can enter your data wherever you want and get it synced on both places

Thanks! Us either. :-)

It looks promising. Will this only sync Events from iCal, or can we expect both Events and Todo's? Either way, it will be a nice step forward for a lot of Mac users. Keep up the great work!
Posted by: Steve | October 28, 2006 at 08:38 PM
Thanks! As soon as Google Calendar supports to-do's, we'll implement support for syncing them.
Posted by: Charlie Wood | October 28, 2006 at 09:46 PM
You guys rock! I can't wait to try this or hopefully I'll be able to try the beta!

good GOD! I WANT ONE NOW!!!

Great Stuff. I just wrote an article I hope will be published soon that reflects a bit on Trumba. I think you guys address some of Trumba's weaknesses with your approach.
Best of Luck to you.

Wow, thanks for all the positive feedback. I hope to have some good news this week.

Posted by: jonathan | October 31, 2006 at 12:38 AM
bring it now!!
what about realtimesync (push new/modified events/calendar everytime it is changed (as it is with broadcasted calendars with webdav))?
Posted by: dontcalmeicalyou | October 31, 2006 at 08:29 AM
this is it! I want it now; i missed the private beta subscription, but I would love to test, is ther any way...? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Jan | October 31, 2006 at 09:08 AM
That's what we were waiting for. When will it be available? Today would be ok, yesterday would be even better.
Posted by: Lutz Cleffmann | October 31, 2006 at 10:23 AM
This will enable me to create a complete end to end solution to my calendaring. I can now have the same calendar on the web, my mac, my phone and my ipod! Yes!
Posted by: Tim Dunne | October 31, 2006 at 12:37 PM
Awesome, simply awesome.
Posted by: Love Thyresson | October 31, 2006 at 04:25 PM
I must have this =)
Now.
This application really deserves the judgement "Flawless".
Good job! Now I only can wait for the beta... =)
Posted by: Kristoffer | October 31, 2006 at 08:42 PM
Thanks Kristoffer, but I can assure you there are many flaws in the application--that's why it's not shipping yet!
But the number of flaws is dwindling, and should very soon reach the point at which we're ready to start beta testing.
Posted by: Charlie Wood | October 31, 2006 at 09:56 PM
This is exactly what I've been waiting for to allow me to fully use Google Calendar in various applications I need a calendar for.
The cumbersome iCal / Google Calendar integration had been my show stopper.
There are good things about Google Calendar, but iCal still has many advantages that I do not want to leave.
So SpanningSync is exactly what I needed.
I hope you will open up the Beta testing soon.
Posted by: Vinko | November 01, 2006 at 12:17 AM
I can't wait to beta test!!! I have been trying to do this for a while now...
Posted by: dave | November 01, 2006 at 12:52 AM
Way too cool. I've been looking for something like ever since I started using gCal. Any idea as to whether this is going to support Hosted gApps? They use a slightly different URL structure... not sure if the API is different for working with them or not.
Posted by: cdharrison | November 01, 2006 at 05:44 AM
I realize that Spanning Sync has bugs =) But the idea is flawless. I cant wait to beta test it =)
All my devices will sync automatically as soon as this is released.
Will it be commercial, freeware or donationware?
Posted by: Kristoffer | November 01, 2006 at 06:06 AM
I really like it. I just started using iCal, and this probably mean I am going to start using GoogleCalendar. I hope that if a an iCelphone is released, it has a sort of iCal on it. :) Keep it up, you got an asured user here.
Posted by: Poncho Garza | November 01, 2006 at 07:51 AM
Finally a solution that will work for those of us that don't have our macs tied to our hips. Now all we need is group calendar systems - may be a possibility after Leopard is released. Can't wait to try it out.
Posted by: Josh Smith | November 01, 2006 at 11:15 AM
OMG. Dude. Seriously.
This is the best thing ever. I can't wait to see it, and I hope Apple buys the rights to this from you and integrates it into iCal later. You deserve the money.
Brilliant.
Posted by: lisamac | November 01, 2006 at 11:27 AM
Very nice. I still need something on the windows end that is an application so I can sync at work too... but this is cool.
Hopefully it works w/ google for my domain users.
Posted by: Linh | November 01, 2006 at 12:15 PM
You people are brilliant! This is going to be the new essential application. Thank you thank you thank you!
