Lifehacker is reporting that Google Calendar now supports CalDAV, allowing you to sync iCal with GCal. This was already possible, but only via paid 3rd party tools from what I could determine.
I really like Google Calendars, since it’s available online and lets you create multiple shared calendars. However, while it may be a bit old-school I prefer a desktop client to the web interface, and like to have a local copy when I’m offline. I’ve been using Thunderbird’s Lightning extension, which is OK, but I really need to be on iCal so that my blackberry will sync appointments.
I just set up the sync on my macbook pro and it seems to work great. I’ll update with another post once the blackberry is brought into the mix.
Great news for Google Calendar users on Macs
