[O] ICS-export and Google Calendar: tags/CATEGORIES not imported

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

My Org-mode export generates entries like this one:

    BEGIN:VEVENT
    UID: TS-a79f58e8-127e-485d-813b-d81c46f70c9e
    DTSTART:20121205T163000
    DTEND:20121205T180000
    SUMMARY:This is the event
    DESCRIPTION: Here goes the first parts of the notes/content
    CATEGORIES:@town,misc
    END:VEVENT

I would like to use/read the CATEGORIES (@town and misc -
corresponding to the list of tags) in Google Calendar. I want to use
it on my Android devices, to be precise.

In my online Google Calendar I do not see anything about those
categories. On my Android devices either.

I supposed that Google does not support this field. However, I could
only find [1] with an description of the Google Calendar supported
format. Quite unspecific IMHO.

Is there someone facing the same issue?
