I love Google Calendar, its a great interface, easy to use, feature rich tool.  It does everything I want it to, except sync.  Well, OK it syncs, but sync sucks.  Calendaring is more and more becoming the line in the sand for every big software company out there.  I have an iPhone, use Google Calendar and have Exchange for work.  I would like one simple thing.  Give me a place to manage my calendar on the web, a view of it on my phone, and my work calendar should be visible everywhere, but my personal calendar should stay off the work calendar, unless I want the time to show as busy at work.  My boss doesn’t need to know the details of my medical appointments.This should be incredibly easy.  In fact it IS incredible easy, except for one thing: nobody wants to give away my data.  Calendaring is not hard, the data is uniform, and sync is well understood 99% of the time.  Why can’t everyone agree on an interop standard, create a subscription interface and share my data?  Someone explain?  Hint: I already know the answer is monetary.Today was an exciting day though, I created a new calendar account at google, synced my work calendar to it, and gave my personal account permission to manage it.  I think I am 99% of the way there.  now if the iPhone would just allow more than one exchange account to be sync’d I would be in calendar heaven.
