  I know you said it's for internal use only, but I'd be really interested in any Oracle Calendar iPhone tricks you have. We're using it where I work (as a support tech) and we're seeing more and more iPhones popping up around campus.

  Drew,
  I guess it depends on the version you're running. From what I've seen, you'll need to export to ical or vcal, then import to iCal to sync to iPhone. It's a bit clunky, but that's 50% Apple's fault for only supporting iCal. I think there's some kung fu you could do on the server side to export a calendar automatically, but you still have the manual iCal step.
  Keep in mind I still run Palm for my calendar b/c it has 10 years of data, and I haven't found a good way to move it all to a modern calendar.
  I'll bet you could find some sweet hacks out there to make it easier.
  Sorry I can't be more helpful. Wait until Rich gets one, then I suspect you'll find a lot more iPhone hacks here.
  Thanks,
  Jake

  Jake.
  Did Rich go to the conference? I really want the hack to get Oracle Calendar entries on the iPhone. Our wonderful Collabsuite Connector will not allow us to sync to Collabsuite. To bad the iPhone doesnt support SyncML (or does it? ). My Nokia was getting along with Oracle's SyncML for calendar.

  Alas, Rich decided to do other things. We should start a "Buy Rich an iPhone" pool to get him to hack together some tools.
  
  I have no idea about SyncML. Drop me an email, and I'll point you to the internal wiki I started.

  It would sure be nice if Oracle Cal offered something like https://tools.wisccal.wisc.edu/cal/index.jsp out of the box.

  I just downloaded iTunes 7.5 (which was released today) and with that, the Outlook Calendar sync work like a charm. Sync capability with Outlook Connector plug in was one feature I was waiting for from the time I bought my iPhone. Now with the new iTunes update, that no longer is an issue.

  You should try the iPhone client of Funambol, which is open source and syncs your native address book of the iPhone with a SyncML server. You need a jailbreak or you can use the web interface. And it won't need a jailbreak as soon as Apple releases its SDK this month.

  Hi- I am an employee of a university using an Outlook with the Oracle connector. In light of last night's Apple announcement to provide full Exchange integration, will Oracle be following suit? Many of us on faculty and Staff would like to or already have iPhones and want to be able to sync to Outlook but can't. Additionally our ITS Dept. has concerns that they will not be able to provide support and may be recomending Blackberrys instead. Any feedback would be appreciated.

  @Eduardo: I can't speak for product development and their current plans.
  
  I can suggest that you join Oracle Mix and add this as an idea to gauge the support it has. Mix is reviewed by product teams so the appropriate team can see the idea and judge the support behind it.
  
  Based on the number of comments and requests I get each week for the iPhone wiki driven by this post, I'd say you have a pretty large number of Oracle employees who would support your idea.

  Not sure exactly what you mean by solution, but I don't think we have one officially.
  
  I started the wiki in July 2007, right when the iPhone debuted, to collect tips/settings on how to connect to email, etc. At the time, there were dozens of iPhone users internally, not thousands.
  
  After the 3G iPhone came out, our IT published the same content, and I took down my wiki b/c it fractured the information and was extra cost to maintain for our team.
  
  Sorry to disappoint.

  Sorry, I was specifically looking for how to get working ical files out of Oracle Calendar so users can subscribe from Google, sundbird, etc. Some posts indicated there was a solution on the internal Oracle wiki for this, so that's what I was after.
  
  I'll move forward with ocal2ical code on google
