IOS – How to sync Reminders with Google Tasks

data synchronizationgoogle-syncios

I was looking for a way to sync my reminders from Google Calendar with the reminders app in iOS 5.

I have Google Sync set up, and on my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings page, it says "Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders" are being synced with Google Sync, but reminders created on the gmail tasks (or google calendar tasks) do not show up on the phone, and vice versa.

What can I do to get them to sync?

–update:

Macworld says:

You can also save your tasks to Google Calendar or Exchange servers,
which then handle the syncing separately.

But it doesn't say how to do it…

As I understand it from http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/ the Google Sync (push-email) doesn't currently support Tasks, so even if the iPhone page says Tasks (as it's using the Exchange protocol) Google won't actually do anything with tasks yet
