It synced tasks (i.e. scheduled and deadline entries) but not entries with just active time stamps which are what I use for appointments. In my use of org, I have a clear distinction between tasks and appointments. I schedule tasks to days but not times. Appointments are not tasks as they disappear whether I attended them or not whereas tasks persist. I would like active time stamps to appear in my calendar for the "at a glance" identification of free and busy times and for reminders of when I need to be somewhere. I prefer to keep task information in org and not in my Google calendar so MobileOrg's behaviour is exactly the opposite of what I wanted unfortunately. -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org release_8.0.1-19-g9655a1
