How to Sync your Calendar without MobileMe

I use MobileMe.  I love MobileMe.  But what do you do if you don't use, love or even like MobileMe?  What do you do if you want to be able to sync your calendar with your family - but you don't want to shell out $99 a year or $149 a year for the family pack?

I have the solution....Google.  Yes, Google.  Google's Gmail is free and so is access to their calendar.  Here are some screen shots how to set it up on your iPhone, iPad or iTouch. 

Go into "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"	Click on "Other"
Click on "Add CalDAV Account"	Type in info above - substitute your email & password, click "Next"
When you enter items into your calendar, Click on "Calendar"	Your Calendar options display. If you want to add it to your Google Calendar, choose the one under Google (CalDAV).

It really is that simple to do.  If your spouse, partner (whatever) has a CrapBerry, I mean CrackBerry, no, sorry, BlackBerry.  They can access the calendar on that, too.  Don't ask me how.  I don't know.
