I set up my 5 addtl calendars in Google thinking that my calendar app on my iphone would have categories again, but nope, it still has that one list of calendars. I might as well go back to MM since the iphone cal app hasn't changed. That's the most important thing to me. Being able to look at my boss's calendars in one view, my kid's in another, mine in aonther, etc- and then being able to see all together. Please let me know if I'm missing something here, but I might as well get my money out of MM. This wasn’t what I thought it would do.

I also synced my Google contacts to the iPhone this way and it has been very smooth. Any newly subscribed subcalendars automatically appear on the http://m.google.com/sync page for addition to the iPhone. CalDAV is more laborious. What is NOT working, and Apple really needs to fix this, is the subscription to .ICS files method. When I add .ICS subscriptions to the iPhone, the device takes anywhere from 5-30 seconds to change pages. DON'T use this method right now!

I have one calendar on Google Apps and my others on Gmail and it would be helpful to use this method to keep all updated. I take it that this method only allows you to link to a single GCal set?

I havent updated to Snow Leopard yet but this seems to be exactly what I had already done in iCal to sync my googleCal. Or did I do something more complicated and now I just dont remember? either way I ask the same question as Justin is there any benefit to setting up the new way?? hi I am confused!
