Thanks for this article. I’ve been using Sync in a Blink for a while now to sync my gmail contacts (simply because I only want to sync one specific group of gmail contacts to my phone and not all of them) but I didn’t know how to set up the CalDav calendars. I’m gonna try this so I can finally use my work exchange server.

I personally don’t have to worry about an exchange account for work or anything. Is there a way I can set it up so that my iPhone contacts and calendars sync with google without using this app? I don’t really understand the whole CalDav thing.

Thanks.

  Andy’s absolutely right. GoogleSync will do the trick, and I was very pleased with the service. It’s free, easy to setup, and efficient. GoogleSync pushes your calendar and contacts both ways, and perhaps, it is only a matter of time before push Gmail will also be included. The downside is that it uses an Exchange account, so that was the reason I wrote about the CalDAV/SyncinaBlink setup.

Do I have to pay for an exchange account or anything?

Thanks for the replies.

  Although I believe you can pay for a service to behave like an Exchange account (enabling push services), most use it through their work. For example, I teach at a high school, and we use Microsoft Exchange for our calendar and email, so I was able to hook into that with the iPhone. I like being on top or at least aware of work stuff if I choose to be, though some would rather not be connected so tightly.

I am trying to find out some info about Syncinablink. App not working (certain error code). Can’t get into forum on the web. Can’t find out anything. Do you know anything? Are they out of business? Hope not. Paid $$ for the app and like it. Tell me what you can and thanks.
