At the time Agendus for iPhone was initially released Apple did not allow third-party access to the native iPhone/iPod Touch Calendar. As of iPhone OS 3.x there are no third-party applications which are able to display data from the native iPhone calendar in order to display it. For this reason the calendar data in Agendus has to sync over the air to Google.
As for synchronizing with any desktop clients, such as Outlook or iCal, at the present time we are at a stage in which we are unable to proceed with adding desktop synchronization support for the calendar. This is because we are waiting to see if Apple will remove this limitation, providing us access to the native databases. Should this happen, desktop synchronization will be made simple. If they were to continue preventing access, we still will make all efforts to add desktop synchronization, but will need to take a different approach.
Indications are that Apple will be unlocking the calendar data in version 4 of their software update. We are investigating a variety of options for desktop synchronization should this be the case.
