Downloaded, tested, works: Spanning Sync

Via Lifehacker: Spanning Sync is a small Mac OX X application that allows you to synchronize your iCal calendards to Google Calendar bidirectionally. Before Spanning Sync, Google Calendar offered iCalendar export which could be subscribed in iCal and iCal offered iCalendar publishing to a FTP or WebDAV folder, which in turn can be subscribed from Google. However you turn it - there was no bidirectional synchronization until now.

The Beta version of Spanning Sync available from today works for me, but if you try it you have to expect to pay for this useful service in the future.

Just two short notes for people who do not have a Mac:

If your Calendar client speaks SyncML you could use a setup via scheduleworld.com like proposed in this tutorial

If you don't want to trust third party servers gcaldaemon might be an even better idea to sync with google calendar. Tested on Linux and Windows but it should work on Mac, too, as it is pure Java. Maybe it's not as comfortable as Spanning Sync, but on the other hand it is open source ;-)
