Sync Google Calendar (in a good way) with iPhone (iCal and Outlook)

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

I have had quite some trouble getting my calendar in sync on all my devices. I want to use Google Calendar in Apple iCal (my home/work computer), Microsoft Outlook (work computer), iPhone (in my pocket) and through web based Google Calendar.

Outlook sync is solved with Google Calendar Sync for Outlook.

My headache were then Apple iCal and the iPhone. I know one commercial solution but I don´t think I should have to pay for this.

So I started to test Google’s guide with CalDAV. This got iCal in sync with Google, but my iPhone could not add new events in this calendar (oddly enough). It created a new calendar on the fly. Not a good solution for the iPhone.

Today, I found NuevaSync! Their service exposes Google Calendar as a Exchange ActiveSync service. It’s still in beta but seems to work quite nice.

iPhone keyboard is controlled by language settings

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I usually run OS with English as language for the localized text and Swedish for keyboard input locale.
However, on the iPhone the keyboard layout for swedish differ (!!) if I change international settings on the iPhone.
Look how Å and Ä are in a much more inconvenient place when using enlish locale. I am still using Swedish for the keyboard layout (mellanslag is swedish for space).

How come pop out is not controlled by keyboard locale?
