I like my mac and have a love/hate relationship with my iPhone 3G.
I guess I’m a Mac guy, mostly because I think they look cool and I’m just the average consumer whose needs and computer savvy do not go beyond the “normal” stuff of word-processing and hacking into the CIA…I mean..um…Anyways, I’m not really all that into the PC & Mac war except just to mess with PC dudes for fun [like my brother-in-law]. By the way, the new “I’m four years old and I’m a PC” commercials are awesome [click here to see one and to see another]
When I got my iPhone 3G [which I am now trying to sell by the way] I did the whole 90 day trial period with Mobile Me and I was like going through withdrawals after the trial expired. Ok, not that bad. But, I did really find it super convenient that my iCal and my iPhone would sync wirelessly and pretty much automatically [I say "pretty much" only because your computer needs to be connected to the internet in order to sync, and yeah, I know, I'm probably the only person on this planet living in a stone age home with no internet...so, just leave me alone].
My lack of internet at home should have clued you in that I’m on a tight, tight budget [and subsequently on a fundamentalist rampage calling America to repent of it's excessive, idolatrous consumerism...ok, just kidding...just sour grapes I guess...no, wait...freaking REPENT! ok, ok, I kid once again...maybe].
ANYWAYS, geesh, what I’m trying to say is that I was starving for a free alternative to sync my iPhone and iCal. And thus, the heavens opened and God smiled upon me…I’ve found one! Did I tell you it’s FREE?
The solution involves utilizing Google Calendar. No surprise because it seems like they are everywhere and taking over the world. Google Calendar is your “cloud” for those of you who understand what that means. It’s the “go-between” your computer and your iPhone. With this solution you can do other stuff like sync your contacts, but of course with anything free you have limitations compared to the stuff you pay for [for example, you can only sync 5 calendars and I think you can only edit one from your phone or something].
Anyways, click on the image below if, like me, you are income challenged by tech hungry for some free syncing!
