But copying and pasting is not necessary in order to implement synching between iCal and Google Calendar(s). If you follow the step by step instructions, they actually require that you do this with iCal on your Mac, not on the iPhone -- perhaps I hadn't made that clear, so thanks for pointing that out! Once you setup syncing on your Mac between iCal and Google Calendar, any appointments you create in iCal -- on the Mac -- will sync to your iPhone (but only after you sync it with your Mac) and with Google Calendar. Similarly, anything you add to Google Calendar will sync to iCal, and thus to your iPhone (but again, only after a sync with your Mac). Thanks for your comments!
