Jason, thank you for sharing your extensive research and I expect to also look into this over the next few weeks as I am building a new Drupal-based website. I did take a quick look at a Google page on their calendar - http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/overview/ - which may be useful. I don't know if WebDAV is supported by Drupal and how it can be used but it is mentioned on the Google page should one wish to synchronize with the Google calendar application.
My preference would be to have one or more Drupal calendar on the website and one or more Android calendars on my tablet, i.e, bypass Google altogether.

I am looking to for a calendar module to use on a Drupal-hosted website which can be synchronized with a calendar on my Android tablet, ideally in both directions.
Is there such a module? Thanks.
After spending several hours this weekend doing some research and testing on this for my wife, I can tell you this:
- There is nothing currently that will do what you want done.
- Using the Event module [1], you can share a Drupal calendar with Google (which can then be sent to your Android device), but you cannot add, change or remove the events on Google or Android.
- The Calendar module [2] does NOT work with Google (there are several issues about this in its queue).
Here are a few other related items:
- The Google Calendar API module [3] doesn't really exist.
- The Google Calendar API (GCal) [4] looks like it might have some potential for someone who had time, knowledge and willingness to create something based on it, but it's also a work in progress.
- The GCal Events [5] only displays Google events in Drupal blocks.
If there were something that did what you wanted, I would be using it to sync calendars from three different Drupal websites.
