RE: What about OTA (over the air) sync with Google Calender?

You can install it by opening the 'IBM Java VM' app (assuming you've already installed it), clicking 'Install', and entering the address to the jar:

You have to approve some annoying security dialogs, and the synching is quite slow (a couple of seconds per event), but it does work, which is very cool.
RE: What about OTA (over the air) sync with Google Calender?
The sync engine is complete, and it's not that slow. The peformance is limited by the available bandwidth and the google protocol which often requires sending and receiving records twice to perform updates.
Use of java does prevent access to some event properties, however. For instance categories, which would be very useful to classify events coming from google.
What I need to to next is give some kind of UI to the sync engine and allow extra features such as import of external calendars. For instance to keep the worlcup schedule up to date in the palm's datebook. That was supposed to be for the hockey WC, but development is a slow process indeed.

Google application
Let's see if it really happens.
Wow... I need this software!
It's fricking 2006, and outlook still expects every user to be a system administrator, archiving things, exporting and importing flat files, writing scripts, and fixing PST files. microsuck are such idiots.
Tragically, the software didn't work right off. It installed fine, ran fine, but didn't populate google calendar. Almost there guys, almost there! :)

Hypothetically, were you able to learn and eventually hold a decent job, you might one day find yourself in an executive capacity.
You'd then notice that it is helpful for your PIM application and email application to be integrated, since very often you want to the software to "create an event from an email". Outlook provides this necessary feature, and so does Gmail/Google Calendar, and soon we'll be able to sync with them.
Oh, and shut your traphole, dickwad. :)
Hope this helped. Have a nice day.

Exporting from Palm Desktop into Google Calendars
In the end I used Dba2csv (http://www.dba2csv.com) which costs 10 bucks and doesn't sync - but it does give me a simple and reliable way to move any Palm Desktop user calendar into a Google calendar, correct timezone troubles and manually edit mistakes before exporting. This actually worked out better for me in the end, but I guess it depends how you use the calendars.
Hope this helps someone.

Does anyone know if this works for non-US timezones?

What about OTA (over the air) sync with Google Calender?
But being able to sync OTA with Google Calendar on my Treo is what I really want. Being able to share and sync Google Calendar would be a very powerful and useful imo...
