I have an old Palm Tungsten T model (PDA), is it possible for me to sync calendar with iCal of my ibook? I have transferred contacts via Bluetooth but can't sync calendar. Btw, the Palm doesn't use a standard USB cable.

Yup, you can. The Palm Tungsten T should have included a USB sync cable. I'm not sure what you mean by not standard.
Here are Apple's instructions if you really want to use Bluetooth (shouldn't be necessary).

I personally prefer using Missing Sync.

Why do you prefer Missing Sync? Just curious. I've looked at it but I don't see a lot that would compel me to get it unless I was using Windows Mobile.

I sync iCal all the time using USB on my T/X.

I like Missing Sync for a couple reasons.
First, it has WiFi syncing. It lets me sync even across the Internet.
Second, Missing Sync is already a Universal Binary so I won't have to chew up memory using Rosetta when I want to sync (I'm not using an Intel yet, but I will soon).
Third, Missing Sync comes with a bunch of conduits for syncing music, photos, etc. Very useful.
Fourth, it includes its own Memos app so I don't need Palm desktop just for that.
Fifth, more data gets synced. Categories and contact images get pushed to my Palm TX.
Missing is probably more for a power user, but I've found it much more reliable with a ton more features.
