Competition for Scheduleworld – Goosync bridges between Google Calendar and the cell phone
Goosync launches a service which provides over-the-air calendar synchronization between Google Calendar and cell phones .
When I updated my overview on how to sync Google Calendar, I only knew of Scheduleworld which could act as a bridge between Google Calendar and the open standard syncML.
Today I read of yet another service with that potential. Goosync started syncML synchronization with Google Calendar this September. As fare as I can tell the service is automated and free, just like scheduleworld.
This service is mainly relevant for cell phones, because most has a built in syncMl client but clients are available for Outlook other applications.
The first impression of the service and website, is very much on level with that of Scheduleworld. I will provide a more in depth comparison between the two at a later point.
Anyway, I find it very positive for average consumer like me that there are two competing services.
