How to Sync Google Calendar with Outlook and Smartphones Automatically
"My big complaint about Google Calendar was lack of support for easily syncing calendar data with my smartphone. I use Outlook for my personal information management because it's still the only thing that puts all my data in one place the way I want it. Google Calendar's iCal export made manual syncing with Outlook possible, but I want to get all my calendar data from my computer to my phone automatically. RemoteCalendars solves this problem, making ongoing data sync simple after a convoluted setup process."

Client based calendaring - especially on a SmartPhone - offers a far superior interface to web based calendars today. However, the web allows for calendar sharing and remote backup that's generally available only to large businesses. Web to client syncs bring the benefits of both together for everyone.
