<DIV>Hi Sally,</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>There isn't any "good/reliable" option for TechTime calendar
synchronization to the iPhone at the moment. And, using the web-interface is
perhaps the easiest and least troublesome method. Having said
that, however, the iPhone Evaluation Team has been trying the
following methods:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT
face=Arial></FONT><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT face=Arial></FONT><BR
class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Note: All data synchronization for the iPhone must go through the
iTunes software. The options below essentially allow you to "sync" the TechTime
data to the respective application on your computer from which the iTunes
software will pick up the data and sync with the iPhone.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>1. Windows XP with Outlook 2003 (without the Oracle Connector for
Outlook):</DIV>
<DIV>There is a "SyncML" plugin software for Outlook called SyncJe (<A
href="http://www.nexthaus.com">www.nexthaus.com</A>) that performs two-way
synchronization between the computer's Outlook application and the TechTime
server. Once your calendar has been synchronized with Outlook, you can then use
iTunes to sync the data to the iPhone.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Pros: Allows two-way synchronication.</DIV>
<DIV>Cons: SyncJe for Outlook does not handle things like daily notes, all day
events, etc. too well.</DIV>
<DIV>Status: We will continue to test the software and work with the vendor to
see if they can address the problems that we are having.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>2. Mac OS X with iCal</DIV>
<DIV>There is a script that you can use called "OraCal2iCal" (<A
href="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13777">http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13777</A>)
works with the latest version of Oracle Calendar client software (version
10.1.2) to perform one-way sync via iCal to the iPhone.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Pro: The only viable method of performing an automated "one-way sync" to
iCal</DIV>
<DIV>Cons: One-way sync only. Requires the latest version of Oracle Calendar
client software to be running on your computer.<BR><BR>3. Other methods:</DIV>
<DIV>We are looking into other methods of synchronizing TechTime calendar with
the iPhone. However, since the iPhone is not yet open for real third-party
software applications, we may not see a robust solution until Apple opens up the
iPhone (via SDK, etc.) in the future.<BR><BR>We will keep you posted in the
progress, but please feel free to try any of the methods above and share your
findings. We will be posting some of our findings in the Mobile Devices Wiki
shortly.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>

<DIV>Hi All,
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I was wondering if anyone has any experience using the iPhone with the
TechTime calendar? I realize that it can be viewed using the web version of
the calendar. Any other comments?</DIV>
