  Thanks for the info, this is exactly what I was looking for. It works perfectly so far on my iPod touch.

  @Doug
  You're welcome. I've never understood why they [Apple/Google] made it so difficult to achieve in the first place, since Google Calendar adheres to the iCal Web Calendar standard.

  Also had stellar results with my iPod Touch 2nd gen. Still using native iPod Touch mail app to access GMail, but using NuevaSync for calendar and contacts. Thank you!

  Patrick,
  
  I see you are using an iPod Touch (I'm thinking of getting one) with Google Calendar. Can you answer a couple of questions for me?
  
  1. Are the calendar entries available when you don't have wifi, so you can see what was last sync'd?
  2. Can you add calendar entries on the iPod and have them sync next time you have internet access?
  
  Cheers,
  
  Jon.

  Calendar entries are stored on the iPod Touch, so yes, you can access them offline. You can also edit your calendar without a connection, since the iPod Touch uses Push to propagate changes. That means that once you get online, any changes are made instantaneously, upstream (from the Touch to the calendar) & downstream (from the calendar to the Touch).

  Thanks for all the great info Ace. I'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch as well. If I have multiple calendars in G-Cal (viewing other friends shared calendars) can I push those calendars to the ipod as well?
  
  Thanks

  @Npod:
  
  Just subscribe to your friends' calendars in Google Calendar, and make sure it's enabled by ticking the calendar's box in the calendar list. Your new calendar should be pushed to the iPod soon thereafter. I'm sure this works since I used this feature myself.
  
  Thanks for visiting!

  Hi Ace,
  
  Thanks for the tip! I'm also thinking of purchasing a 2Gen ipod touch and using it as a PDA.
  
  Now that you've been using neuvasync for over a month, have you noticed any reliability problems with the syncing/pushing? i.e. lost events, mis-translated fields, etc? I want to sync my calendars, but the data is critical and I would prefer that the sync software doesn't corrupt it :)
  
  thanks!
  
  sam.

  @sam:
  
  Much obliged!
  
  In fact, NuevaSync is so good and reliable I've forgotten I was using it. I have yet to see anything go wrong with this service. Stability like this is pretty rare.
  
  Note that if you're planning to have sensitive information synced to your iPod Touch, it would be smart to switch on the PIN-code feature in case the device gets into the wrong hands. Other than that, I don't see any reason to not make the jump.
  
  Thanks a lot for visiting!
  Greets,

  I assume there is no way to use NuevaSync for those of us with a microsoft outlook account already pushing messages through "exchange?" Any other suggestions?

  Apple has added over-the-air podcast downloading with the iPhone/iPod Touch 2.2 software update.

  Thank you very much for a great tip. Makes the iTouch (mine at least) a very usable PDA.

  Thank you thank you thank you. I have tried to find a way to get my calendar without going from Google to Outlook and then to my ipod. Plus, when you do it that way, I could only get my calendar, not the rest of my family members. THIS IS AWESOME!
