• hit microsoft exchange (trust me, it works)
• under email and username, put in your gmail address
• dont put anything under domain
• hit the next button at the top
• I had to accept a certificate

• hit next again
• turn off mail.
• turn on contacts and calendars
• hit done
• then sync.
• enable push under settings > fetch new data
  you dont need anything turned on in itunes for the sync.
• the final step is to go to m.google.com/sync in your iphone or  ipod touch’s safari, login, select your iphone / ipod touch and then pick the calendars you want to sync =)
