Pulse News introduces sync (finally!)

Posted on 21 October 2011

Alphonso Labs has rolled out a new cloud syncing feature for their much lauded RSS reader app Pulse News (apparently they blogged about it back on 12 October but I missed it) I have to say, it’s a welcome feature! I constantly flip-flop between Pulse and Feedly as my main RSS reader app, but for many reasons Feedly alway won out in the end. A big one though, was the fact that Feedly would sync my entire Google Reader feed list. Back to the flip-flop I guess! If you’re uncertain what Pulse is, it’s a highly visual cross-platform RSS reader smart-device app. The new feature is available with their most recent app updates for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets (although does anyone know if it is a part of…

How to remove Google CalDAV

Posted on 10 December 2008

Your sync stinks! Problems with Google Calendar CalDAV

Posted on 10 December 2008

Ok so no one told me that Google had introduced CalDAV syncing (the download package is cutely named Calaboration ) so you can sync Google Calendar and Apple‘s iCal together (announced here and here). For ages you’ve been able to feed your Google calendars into iCal (not sure how? Find out here), but it meant you always had to go to Google Calendar to make changes to your calendars. If you added events on iCal it would reside with a local (ie on your computer) calendar. You could only sync from Google Calendar to iCal, not the other way around. Some third party applications started to allow you to sync both ways. My pick was Spanning Sync. I did the 15-day trial and was pretty happy with it so I purchased a licence for it. It’s not overly pricey; I paid $65 for the…
