Since I don't use Outlook and use Gmail as my business email system, I have found that the Google Calendar is a good Outlook substitute for accepting and managing meeting invitations. But at this point I am still hand entering those into my Palm calendar, which holds everything else. So I wondered if anyone was syncing the Google Calendar with the Palm calendar (and therefore also to Datebk6 which uses the Palm's calendar database) without using Outlook, which I do not have on my Vaio UX (and do not want). If not I will continue hand entering onto the Palm, which is not that big a deal (I don't have that many business meetings).

I've used this with PalmDesktop version 4 and 6 and it works quite
well. You can specify which of the calendars in your google account
you want to sync.
The downside is that it costs $30, but there is a trial period you can
use to check it out. You might also find some coupon codes to bring
the price down as well.

Speaking of that, I wonder if someone has tried to sync from Google
Calendar to the Nokia PC Suite. I use a Nokia 40 series and I wonder
if I can keep track of my appointments from work (also moved from
Outlook to GA) at my phone.
