[Remind-Fans] Approaches to remind and Blackberry/other PDA, handhelds, etc.?

[Manu Kaul]

Ok. I have it working fine on my Mac with Geektools so I can see my monthly
calendar on the desktop and also managed to get it to work with Growl
Notifications for timed reminders. Would be awesome if I could synch it to
my iPhone via Google Calendar! Will have to look a bit more... but rem2ics
doesn't have any usage documentation at all. Wrote to the author ... see if
he gets back to me!

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and
falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
