With just a few clicks, I can go from UPS shipment notification to tracking it on my iPhone through the UPS app. It’s really pretty slick.

GCalendarSync v0.2 Release + Source
What is GCalendarSync? Go to the project page…
Download installer cab | source
If you just want to use it on your mobile, hit that binary cab link from pocket IE and it will install for you. No, I didn’t sign my assemblies (i don’t have a real certificate), so be prepared to click through some warnings. You’ll need the .NET 2.0 Compact Framework installed for this app and you can get it from Microsoft here.
I have been using it for a day now with no issues but all the usual disclaimers apply. Use it at your own risk. I’m releasing this under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 License. Share it and Remix it, but let me know what you’re doing with it so we can enjoy it too.
Oops… It just came to my attention that there’s already something out there called GCalSync. Wow it’s a small world. That app is *shiver* in java, so I need a new name for this app! Suggestions please :-)
More detailed release notes after the jump…

GCalendarSync v0.1 Screenshots
GCalendarSync allows you to import events from one or more of your Google Calendars directly to your Windows Mobile PDA or Smartphone over the air using GPRS, without docking or using Outlook or the desktop computer in any way. Release + Source is coming later today. Coming in a couple days is the reverse-sync feature so that you can make changes to your google calendar directly on the Smartphone and changes will sync back up to Google.
I’m not quite ready to release it this second, so here are some screenshots of the process of using the app. Like all Windows Mobile apps, after you close it it can still run in the background, so that allows it to run scheduled imports. Basically every minute it hits a timer interval and checks to see if it should import again (default time between imports is 60 minutes). Right now it is more of an Import than a “Sync” tool. But in the next release I will should have two-way syncro going so that you can make changes right on your phone and have those changes sent back up to Google…
And now, the screenshots (after the jump)

Well, this is it. I’ve finally gotten around to creating a blog where I can share my ideas and software projects. My main goal here will be to reflect on issues in the realm of software development and engineering (mainly with the .NET framework in mind). I’m working on several small gadget projects and one large-scale application in my free time and this will be a place to report on progress as well as distribute releases as they become available.
That’s it for now. I will be posting very shortly about my newly created tool to sync the Windows Mobile Smartphone calendar with your Google Calendar(s) directly without your desktop computer involved or Outlook involved.
