As I wrote and if I am not wrong, with IC/VC you would have in most
cases a "one-way update" more than a real synchronization.

Never done but that's what the application is supposed to do. From the
IC/VC page:
"IC/VC is an iCalendar/vCard import/export utility for the Newton. It
plugs into the regular application framework and allows sending of
items from the Names and Dates application in iCalendar or vCard format
as well as importing data from the Inbox application. It can also be
used to put away packages from the Inbox which have been downloaded via
Nitro or NHttpLib."

Yes: ... IC/VC. Maybe I didn't get the question.
Still NewtSync works fine in synchronizing Dates and iCal apart some
known issue on repeating activities and others I do not recall.

Probably I never tried IC/VC for dates. Anyway with IC/VC installed,
you can select a "iCalendar" format under "format" when routing the
dates you selected.
... do you have a "select all" in the default Dates? or did you mean
Names?
Never needed (and used) OBEX and nBlog.
Not that much still I hope it helps.
