If you’re looking for a free application (read: alternative to MobileMe) to synchronize your Google calendars and contacts to your iPod Touch or iPhone, without the need to install software, I have found NuevaSync to be extremely beneficiary. Arguably, its best feature is that the service uses a protocol (Microsoft Exchange) that your device already supports, so setup is as simple as creating an account with NuevaSync and then setting up an Exchange account to work with their servers. Synchronization works both ways and quickly, too, so that scheduling is convenient (as it should be). I’m holding out hope that the email push functionality will be added shortly.

For quick instructions on how to set up NuevaSync, see this original post.

And yes, I have digressed (already) from my plan to only use a physical planner. Excuse: doh, technology is cooler.
