I use QuickCal [1] together with iCal. Syncing with my Android works over Google Calendar but adding events is way faster with QuickCal and a keyboard for me [2]. I used Google's 'Quick add' function for a while but got annoyed about the slow development [3] and the lack of functionality. Also, nothing is as fast as a native app that you can start with a shortcut. I can even switch between calendars in no time and it will tell me if my new event conflicts with an existing one while I type. At the moment, I find the greatest annoyance in broken syncs with Google. Its so annoying, that I tend to use local iCal calendars only now. When you have a Mac Air in your pack, looking up and adding dates is often faster than with the phone anyway. Longterm though, I'm seriously thinking about going for an iPone and MobileMe just to get rid of this annoyance. Fantastical looks great and I will give the free trial a shot later. But on first sight I can't see any obvious advantage over my current setup which was only $1.
