Last year i was looking for a solution to sync my calendar with the Apple’s iCal application and my iPhone. I found no suitable free application that can sync appointments in both ways using the push technology, too. So i decide to buy a one-year mobile.me subscription from Apple. 
At work i use Thunderbird with the Lightning Add-On as PIM and i found to date no possibility to integrate the mobile.me Calendar using CalDAV. So i decide to return to my "old good" Google-Calendar. It now has the feature to do a two-way synchronization with iCal. The setup is very simple, Google has published the tool calaboration which assists you to setup your Goolge-Caledar in iCal.
Just enter your Google-Mail address and your password and choose your Google-Calendar(s) which you want to sync. Finally click Add to iCal and start the iCal application.
You can change the Calendar account title within iCal –> Preferences –> Account –> Description. In my case i changed it to Google Work and Google Private.
Next time i will write an article how to sync the iPhone with Google-Calendar.

- GCALDaemon (nice tool, but did not work properly for me)
