Interesting start
Though it doesn't yet work for my old devices, and it double-fails a test I didn't include, regarding privacy. Going with google calendar puts my calendar in the hands of a 3rd party, which is troublesome, and adding goosync puts it in the hands of an additional 3rd party, though quite possibly they forget the data once it has gone through them. Data on 3rd party servers is not covered by the 4th amendment.
Now, remote web access is hard for most people without a 3rd party being involved, I wll admit, though there are ways that those 3rd parties can do it well, by encrypting the data and using the password I provide during sessions to decrypt it only while I am logged in, extracting things like E-mail alerts into a non-encrypted space when I am not logged in.
