be supported for better and complete user experience

You can sync google calendar using Mail for Exchange.

It isn't prefect but can work while waiting for a different kind of support.

True, but note that it is not officially supported. If it works, you are lucky.

I think Juanjo Marin already said this, but I just want to make it clear.

The limited support of Google calendars in MfE will only allow synchronizing
the first calendar in your google calendars.  Consider how limiting this is in
this example:

Let's say you have two calendars, a personal calendar and a business calendar. 
With existing support, you can only synchronize personal calendar and not the
business calendar.

It makes the transparent syncing of Android very attractive in comparison.

The scope of bugs.maemo.org are bugs and only very specific and no-brainer
enhancement requests. This report contains a feature request that is too
generic for bugs.maemo.org. Please post this problem and propose your
solution in Maemo Brainstorm instead:
