Boilerplate
Spanning Sync is a Mac OS X utility that provides two-way synchronization between iCal and Google Calendar, and between Address Book and Google Contacts. Installed as a System Preferences pane, it syncs automatically as changes are made, supports multiple Macs on one Google account, and extends the same calendars and contacts to iPhone and other phones through Google. Spanning Sync shipped as version 1.0 in March 2007 and received its final release, 3.3, in July 2012.
