On-Line Calendars - making me grumpy!

I like on-line calendars, they are convenient and simple to use.

I've got a Palm TX which I use to carry around my personal calendar (as well as it being a superb MP3 player).
Google-cal (GCal) is pretty and has useful public calendars, and has been well accepted by the rest of my family.
Airset allows integration between Palm Desktop the TX and GCal - in that direction only.
What's missing is integration between the Palm TX and GCal; that's direct two way communication between the palm (or Palm Desktop) and Google Calendar.
While Airset is useful as that bit of 'middleware' to allow some integration, and it's a nice clean application, I really see it as an unnecessary step - what would change this? Well, if Airset included an equivalent to GMail, I might be tempted to use it more.

I don't need integration with Outlook, and I appreciate that many others do. My employer makes me used Outlook with a Dell Axim at work. I don't use these for personal calendar items, and I don't try to synch them - but to be able to do so - while retaining categories - might be a plus for me.

Why is it so complicated?
