Integrating GCal with Thunderbird and the iPhone

I just integrated Thunderbird with Google Calendar using Lightening and Provider for Google Calendar 0.4. It’s fairly straight forward if you’re somewhat familiar with GCal developments, but if you’d like a nudge in the right direction, check out this great little tutorial (complete with screenshots).

Google Calendar integration with the iPhone is definitely a mixed bag: type in (something like) “lunch with friend noon today” in the “quick add” field, and it will automatically enter in the appropriate time; try to edit or delete that same entry within Google’s mobile pages, and it’s a no go.
