Google Calendar-iCal sync app goes public
Spanning Sync has finally released a public beta of its Google Calendar-iCal two-way sync app, only to experience so overwhelming a demand for new signups that the beta was closed again.
Spanning Sync is said to offer reliable bidirectional syncing of user-selected Calendars in iCal and Google’s calendar (see a previous Hawk Wings post).
The interface in the beta looks promising:
In a post that went up on the company’s blog 
soon after the announcement of the public beta, relief was promised for those eager to try out the service:
We’re thrilled (and a little freaked out) by the literally overwhelming response, but we want to make sure all of our users have the best experience possible. With any luck, the public beta will open again tomorrow, with a lot more capacity to handle the load. Thank you for your patience.
Keep your eyes peeled for the re-opening.

I’ve been part of the private beta and the work that Charlie and his team have put into this has been impressive. I’m able to keep my iCal/gCal sync’d and my team can keep track of me all day. They have been responsive and meticulous - I’ve been very impressed with how quickly they have responded to emails and bugs.

It would be even better if there was a Google Calendar/Entourage sync tool.

sync to Gcal is fine but we are missing the mobile to Gcal solution, something comprehensive for a mobile user. I have been using Zyb.com for a while for address book/calendar sync and things are fine at that end. However they only offer one time import of Gcal so far. If the 2 way sync from them will be as good as the usual sync i think it would be the best application so far.
