http://www.nuevasync.com I just set this up through the exchange server feature in activesync. It is an over the air sync to google calendar and contacts in gmail. (No pictures with the contacts in gmail :( ) I had a problem with duplicates at first, but I think that was because I was trying oggsync, goosync, and nuevasync at the same time. It appears to be working fine now. There are other options out there, but this one appears to be the easiest and free-est one out there without limitations. I hope you enjoy this as much as I am.
!Backup your stuff with PIM backup or something similar before you sync just in case!

Can you set categories in Google Calendar and it sync over? That's my biggest annoyance, I 'need' categories in order to have PhoneAlarm do specific actions for me based on the event category, such as "Work meeting" quietens everything, but there are some others that set the power on time different, or make the sounds louder, etc.. That all works with using Outlook to sync, but I haven't seen an online solution that works yet.

I haven't tried. I seem to remember that goosync would dumb down your category to the one default category. It might have been an old version or something. Good luck with it though! I just looked and I didn't see any category option on the google calendar webpage.

Well...My contacts lost their pictures on the gmail contacts page. This doesn't keep all of the information. I also lost my throttle contact category information. It's good for a sim card backup tho :P

I haven't used it myself yet. However, on quick inspection, the settings page recognizes multiple calendars, so it might sync in separate categories. There doesn't seem to be an option to only sync contacts with phone numbers, so I don't want to use it yet because gmail creates new contacts for those you email.

gave it a try and seems to work well! i only sync my calendar(s) and fits to it almost perfectly. the only problem is.. i'm having multiple calendars at my google calendar, and i cannot decide which calendars to sync. anyways that's better than goosync, only one calendar can be selected to sync.. otherwise have to upgrade to pro.. :E

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was using scheduleworld with the funambol client, but that stopped being able to connect. I would like to try to us nuevasync, but for as simple as the setup instructions are my activesync says that "Microsoft exchange did not accept my logon credentials". The server source is setup per the instruction on nuevasync site. I am running the stock ATT rom with WM6.0. I haven't knowingly changed any of my network settings and internet and email still work properly, but I can not get either funambol or nuevasync to work. Any thoughs would be appreciated.
