Since purchasing my iPhone, I no longer use my HP PDA for maintaining and notifying me of meetings and telecons at work. The bad news is, I cannot sync my iPhone to government computers at the office, and iTunes is definitely out.
Originally I was using Snerdware's GroupCal to sync my office Outlook calendar appointments with iCal and my iPhone, but at this time, Groupcal is not compatible with Leopard. So to keep from having to type each individual appointment into my iPhone manually, I send email home for future office meetings and/or appointments that will later sync to the iPhone. To do this from the Outlook computer, place the meeting subject in the email subject line, then in the body of the email, place the date and time in the format: Monday, November 26, 2007 at 3:00 PM. If you leave off the time iCal will consider it to be an all day affair.
When you get home to read your email, place the mouse pointer over the date and select Create new iCal Event. The new Outlook event will then be placed into iCal for syncing with your iPhone and iPod. As far as I know, you can have only one subject at a time. However, in the body of the email, you can have multiple dates, but each one will be tied to the same subject. So until GroupCal begins working with Leopard next year, this is the quickest method for me.
