This suggests that users cannot update the calendar from their mobiles, but as iTWire reported in January, there is a third party product that allows access to Google Calendars from mobiles, and supports two way synchronisation: GooSync from UK based Toffa International Limited, a developer of mobile synchronisation products. The company claimed that any user with a Google calendar account could use GooSync to wirelessly synchronise their appointments and events to their mobile device. Toffa's service is also free, but offers only a limited range of options, For full synchronisation capability users must pay for an advanced account. GooSync has been running as a worldwide open beta with more than 15,000 users since October 2006. The service is based on Toffa's commercial synchronisation engine, SyncWiseLive, which supports industry open standards (SyncML). Therefore, according to Toffa, GooSync is compliant with all of the latest mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). A list of compatible devices is available.{moscomment} |
