I don’t currently use Google Calendar, but that may change soon. Spanning Sync is a system pref pane that will allow true two-way synchronization of iCal, and Google Calendar. That means that changes made in either location will show up in both places. You can also specify which individual calendars get synced.
I say that it will provide two-way syncing, because Spanning Sync is currently unavailable. It’s in private beta. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the site for their public release. In the meantime, you can check out this video demo to see how it will work.
Currently I keep my Macs in sync via .Mac, but that doesn’t do me much good if I want to access my calendar from another machine. iCal does allow you to export your calendars to the web, but they are read only… you can’t make changes online. To me, that makes that feature almost useless. I really hope Apple is paying attention to this, and they are planning to do to iCal, what they recently did to .Mac mail… and give us a full featured online iCal equivalent.

Ah, why must we wait. I spent so much time looking for a program like that when Google Calendar came out.
To me a useless feature to be honest.. I prefer using iSync and syncing my mobile with iCal.. That way I bring my calender with me, and I dont need a computer to keep up with my schedule..
For a list of phones thats currently supported by default check out: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
In addition a company offers a cheap little piece of software for only 10e that makes alot more phones compatible with iSync (incl. the one I personally use, nokia 6288).. Click here: http://www.novamedia.de/sync/
Best 10e I’ve used for a few months :)
Other similar tool is GCALDaemon on http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net …
