Sync iPad calendar to Gmail Calendar

Hey all,

I have done a lot of research about trying to figure out how to sync appointments made on my iPad to my Gmail calendar. I have found countless guides for how to get entries from Gmail to iPad which works for me, but I have not been able to find a solution for a 2 way sync, or at least from iPad to Google.

Since I share the iPad and multiple people, they will make calendar appointments on the iPad. Since the iPad will typically stay at home, I would like to find a way to get all of the appointments on my iPad to sync to my Moto Droid.

I figured the easiest way was to somehow sync the iPad with Google Calendar as I can sync that down to my phone.

Has anyone had any success with either a constant 2 way automatic sync? If not is there anyway I can easily get whats on my iPad onto either my Moto droid or Gmail Calendar?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew

[Google Sync for your phone|http://www.google.com/mobile/sync>

Google Sync works for iPhone, iPad, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Outlook for Windows, as well as others. I haven't tried it with Android, but being from Google, it's likely it will work as well. It syncs Google Calendar to your various devices. I can also sync Gmail and Addressbook, if you wish.

I have this set up to sync iCal on my Mac Mini, Macbook Pro, Outlook on my Windows PC and my Windows Mobile phone. I have this setup on a client to keep a husband & wife's calendar in sync on 2 iPhones, his iPad, his Macbook, "family" Mac Pro and her Outlook for Windows. Previously they also had Blackberries. But basically it's multiple people editing the same calendar and keeping multiple devices in sync. (This client is NOT syncing their addressbook, as each wants their own on their phones. They primarily wanted a shared calendar.)
