Keeping multiple calendars can be a pain in the behind.  You have one on your phone, one on your computer and one on Google, it would nice to merge them, but that’s not always easy.  Luckily Google has a tool named Google Calendar Sync that can help you with this problem if youa re a user of Microsoft Outlook.

Once you install the download, you enter your account information and then choose if you want to sync Outlook to Google, Google to Outlook, or have them sync to each other.  You can also set how often you want it to perform the sync, but that is totally up to you depending on how much you work with your schedule.

The major drawback to this for me is that it only works with Outlook.  I only use Outlook on my computer as a place to sync my iPod Touch to, and that is also the same place that most movile phones will sync contacts and calendar to, even if you don’t use the program for email.

This is certainly a solution if the $99 a year for MobileMe wasn’t appealing to you and yet you still wanted a way to sync up your calendars.  With it being bi-directional, it also makes a nice backup if anything should happen to your mobile device or your computer, and all for free!
