/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/

    I’ve been wanting to sync my calendar from iCal to a web based calendar for quite awhile now but with Google Calendar. :-(

    Apple please do Google Calendar and Address book syncing as-well!

    Qsssss
    That is all, over and out.

    Could this be due to iPhone? It has a free push IMAP account with it so going to need some kind of contact sync.
