SyncEverything — the clostest attempt I have ever seen. Haven’t tried myself but looks promising. I bet someone is working on putting a solution together, and I hope it’s open source.
(No, I didn’t make or write this. Please don’t email me. Check out //engtech » The Holy Grail of Synchronization: How to synchronize Microsoft Outlook (multiple locations), Google Calendar, Gmail, iPod, and mobile phone with Funambol / ScheduleWorld.)
This is the setup I am trying to sync:
- Microsoft Outlook Calendar at work (don’t care about work contacts)
- Google Calendar
- Gmail
- Microsoft Outlook Contacts at home (don’t care about home calendar)
- Nokia 6682 (or any mobile phone that has software to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, ie: all of them)
- iPod
This is how I want to sync it:
- Contacts are sourced from my Phone + Outlook (at home).
- Calendar is sourced from Outlook (at work), Google Calendar, ScheduleWorld.
- I only want to synchronize my phone/iPod when I’m at home.
- I don’t want to use SyncML to synchronize over WAP/GPRS because I am a skinflint. Rogers charges a reasonable $3/2 Mb with plan but it’s the $0.03 / 1 Kb when you go over the plan that kills you).
Here is a beautiful drawing of The Plan. It was made with Gliffy, a web-based Visio clone.
