Germany, anyone?

( General )

In an effort to release the highest quality software, I won’t be releasing GMobileSync 1.3 (with two-way sync) until after the New Year. Nicole and I will be in Germany on holiday from the 26th of December until January 4th.
Look for GMobileSync 1.3 with two-way synchronization on Monday, January 8th!
If anyone will be in Magdeburg […]

2:27am is a good time to write code.

Just a quick Christmas Eve update—
I’m working on two-way synchronization right now! Nicole and I took a trip to see some family and we figured out a nice algorithm during the car ride. It’s a near perfect way to always get the most up-to-date information to propagate either to Google Calendar or to the SmartPhone.

Two-way synchronization progress

( General )

I’m about 70% of the way complete with two-way synchronization!
I have a question for everyone: If a change has been made to an appointment on the Mobile device (locally) and a change to an appointment on Google Calendar (remotely) since the last sync… what should happen? Should the Mobile device overwrite the Google Calendar event […]

You asked for two-way sync… You got it!

( General )

I just finished the alpha version of GMobileSync 1.3 which features two-way synchronization! There is still testing to be done and a few little tweaks but I expect that it will be released by the end of the week. I still need to thread the synchronization from PocketOutlook to Google Calendar but that won’t take […]

Confused? Need assistance?

( General )

I’ve created a Google Group for GMobileSync to assist in supporting everyone. With 1,278 downloads in the past two weeks, I can’t possibly answer every question (in a timely fashion) that comes through. What I can do, though, is provide a way for everyone to help each other. I will also monitor the group to […]

GMobileSync in your language?

( General )

Is anyone interested in localization? There is a poll on the left side column of this website asking which language you prefer. I can’t promise anything but I do have some friends that are fluent in German and French. If you can fluently speak a language (in addition to English) and are interested in helping […]

GMobileSync 1.2

( Downloads and News )

I’m happy to announce the release of GMobileSync 1.2 today! I spent about twenty hours writing/updating code and testing since the last version. You can download GMobileSync 1.2 now!
Features

Recurring appointments are now supported!*
Better error handling – GMobileSync can detect the difference between no network connection and bad credentials. Before synchronization, GMobileSync will always check for […]

Testing for network connectivity in Mobile 5.0

( Code )
A few people have mentioned to me that it's hard to tell if their credentials are wrong or if a network connection is not present when using GMobileSync. Version 1.1 does not check for network connectivity before trying to connect to Google Calendar. Version 1.2 does a quick check to make sure the device has [...]
