I really question the judgment behind the price. A "lifetime" option only highlights the fact that the lifetime for this software will be short. Apple, Google, etc. will work out the sync issues in the next year or so. The existing Google option to subscribe to an iCal URL ("Add by URL"), and for iCal to subscribe to a Google calendar, come tantalizingly close to doing the basic job for free.

Another new, slightly cheaper entrant -- gSync.

Consider gSync - Digital Fury

Totally agree, myself I just use Google's sharing option directly with iCal on my MacBook Pro.

Consider gSync - tim.lambert

Only consider gSync if you don't want reliability - when costing something, think of the indirect costs. we wasted a month with gSync before moving on to something more reliable. YMMV of course - just our tale.
