Guten Morgan... I'm no expert on this stuff.  It is just hard.

This is what I have done on my project.

1)  MySQL stores datetime in GMT.

2)  For each customer group, they are timezone specific, I store their =
timezone string in the database.  When the user logs in, I store that in =
the session.

3)  I have a cover method to convert GMT in NSTimestamp to local time =
based on the timezone string. =20

4) I also have a method to get the timezone of the browser and a method =
to convert the datetime to the browser timezone, but my customers needed =
the datetime to be in their local time.=20
