Up until this week, Google Calendar and Windows Phone didn’t play together nicely. You could only sync one Google calendar per account and had to use a JavaScript hack to sync more. Thankfully, those days are gone now that Google updated its Sync product to let Windows Phone users select multiple Google calendars. Customers with a Windows Phone can navigate to m.google.com/sync on their phone and setup the calendars they want yo sync. Besides Calendar Sync, Google also lets you configure which addresses you want to send mail as if you use custom addresses in Gmail.

These are minor changes, but meaningful for Google users with a Windows Phone handset. Its brings Windows Phone on par with the iPhone for Calendar syncing. It’s nice to see Windows Phone get some love from Google and is an indirect acknowledgement that the platform is moving from forgettable into a minor player.
