I’m pleased to report that since the release of version 0.8 of Lightning, and the corresponding update of the Google Data Provider add-on everything seems to be working well. I can now update calendar data in both directions.

This, in combination with GooSync, which syncs the Google Calendar to my mobile phone (a Nokia N95), means all my calendars are now easy to keep in sync.

For work I use a Blackberry 8300, and I’m pleased to say there’s an official Google application to sync the calendar.

Phew! Synchronising calendars has been a surprisingly difficult problem to solve, but thankfully we seem to have licked that particular problem now :-)
