Of course, with Android, you'll almost certainly already have a Google account listed in 'Accounts & Sync.' You need one to use most Android devices. Now Outlook is talking to Android, via Google. Click on it, then make sure you've ticked the 'Sync Calendar' option. When done, go back to 'Accounts & Sync' and select the Google account that's associated with your Google Calendar. From the 'Settings' menu (which most Android phones should have), look for something like 'Accounts & Sync.' Click 'Add an account,' then select 'Google' and enter your details. After the account is set up, you'll see it listed within 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars.' Select it, then be sure you've toggled the 'Calendars' link to 'On.' Once that's done, voila! Now you've channeled your Outlook calendar through the cloud to Google and back down to your iPhone. Select Gmail, providing your Google information as required. Go to 'Settings,' then 'Mail, Contacts, Calendar,' then choose 'Add Account.' You'll see Gmail as one of the options listed. Let's start with the iPhone (and this works for the iPad, as well). Once Outlook is talking to Google Calendar, life is beautiful for the smartphone user.

Sync two-way if you want calendar entries made in either place to flow back-and-forth. You can sync one-way, to send only stuff on your Outlook calendar to Google or vice-versa.

Google Calendar Sync is a lightweight program you install that automatically syncs whatever is on your Outlook calendar to your Google Calendar account (you'll need to create a Google Calendar account, if you don't already have one). I dearly wish Google would support the Mac with this, and I'll revisit that wish at the end.

Google Calendar Sync is the solution to all of these issues, at least if you use Windows. Meanwhile, what about syncing to the Web? And syncing to Android? And these days, syncing to Windows Phone? But, I had to remember to plug-in my phone to do this.

Then along came the iPhone, and iTunes took over, allowing me to sync my Outlook calendar to my iPhone. Instead, my life of syncing Outlook to a phone started years ago when I'd use Microsoft ActiveSync to have Outlook talk to my Windows Mobile phone. I've never been in an organization that used it. I know there's Microsoft Exchange that many companies use for syncing Outlook to other devices. But what if you want to view your Outlook calendar when away from your desktop? I've found Google Calendar Sync is an awesome solution. It's an outstanding tool for handling e-mail and my calendar.
