Syncing your calendar on your iPhone and your laptop can be accomplished in seconds thanks to the MobileMe service from Apple. The online service uses the "cloud" effect, which is a server that sends your updated and new information to all devices that are set up for the synchronization. MobileMe not only syncs your calendar; it syncs your address book and email.
