The Best of Both Worlds: Sync your Google calendar AND your Exchange Calendar

Google Calender syncing is outstanding on the iPhone

I gave in, got rid of my work Exchange syncing, set up my work email via IMAP and setup my Google account to sync with my iPhone. You see, I don’t really have an appointment intensive job. I have only a couple of meetings a week and when they hit, I am at my desk…
