Finally: Google Calendar Sync

I've got an unbelievable number of emails about this, but Google yesterday released its own (free) Google Calendar Sync tool, which provides one- and two-way sync between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook:

Sync your Google Calendar with your Microsoft Outlook™ calendar

Access your calendar however and whenever you want. Check your Microsoft Outlook events on the go with Google Calendar. View your Google Calendar information offline through Microsoft Outlook calendar. Learn More

This is a huge release for various reasons, but especially for those who use both Google Calendar and the iPhone (which currently only syncs with Outlook on the PC). Looking good.

Thanks again to everyone who wrote in about this.

This sounds good, but crashes Outlook 2007 near the end of the sync on both of my machines.

Now if they would release a contact synchronizer for gmail I'd be really happy. I tried Plaxo but it's started crapping out on the gmail side of things.

I just wish they would support multiple calendars not just the main calendar!! I still like Plaxo for this..

I agree on the multiple calender thing. I set up a shared work calender but I can't sync it an my personal calender around. The only real reason I want to sync is to get to my caldner on my smartphone though and the mobile Gcal is better than my smartphone's poorly synced calender anyway.
