Best online Calendar sharing for iCal / iPod Touch - cbelt3 - 07-23-2009
My lovely wife received an iPod Touch to keep her busy during her convalescence following spinal surgery. And she's taken to it like a duck to water ! This may have been the one device that will cause her to give up her lifelong Daytimer / Franklin Covey planner fascination, and enter the digital world.
But I'd like to be able to create entries on her calendar from work and from my computer at home. Ok, fine, I set up a Google calendar for her, and synched it with her iCal, and hence the iPod Touch. Except....
She doesn't like having more than ONE calendar. It drives her batty.
So I have a solution ? Would Mobile Me do the trick ? I'm willing to pony up for a family pack (thanks, megamacs), but I want to be comfortable that it will work for us.

Mobileme will definitely do the trick. Totally seamless syncing across devices.

Having Data detectors in Leopard Mail makes iCal and Address book much sweeter.

Data, detected.
Mail does more than just show email. It also analyzes the contents to help you act on them. Say you get an email inviting you to dinner at Gino’s Pizza tomorrow at 6 p.m. Mail not only recognizes that 6 p.m. is the time, it knows that “tomorrow” represents a date on a calendar. So you can add the invitation to your iCal calendar by clicking the date, whether it’s an actual date (October 18) or a relative date (tomorrow). It also knows that Gino’s is a place, so you can click the address to view a Google map of the restaurant’s location. And if the message includes a phone number or email address, you can add it to Address Book with just a click.
