blogs.zdnet.com— It looks like Google Calender could be launching tonight! The official Google Calendar logo was found on Google's servers and calendar.google.com redirects to the actual CL2 login screen now.

Exactly, I am using a palm as a calendar manager, though manager, to do list, etc. So, one thing that would be fantastic is that GCal can synchronize with my palm, otherwise I won't use it. Because I've got everything on my palm, but my palm lacks the "share" function to share with other people.Hope they will include that soon or palm users won't use it; A good integration with palm desktop would be so great.
They mention iCal.. what does that have to do with Safari? iCal (believe it or not) is more then just an application, but a file format used by other software as well. So hence, they have to support iCal. Supporting all browsers and their finiky rendering engines on the other hand.. is a different story.
I hope this thread isn't dead, but, can someone explain the utility for this? If you already have Outlook and a PDA, what does this offer? Is this mainly for organizations that need a shared calender accessible to every employee? What's the point of having a personal calendar online if you have a PDA?
There is no way on gods green earth that I'll ever use Plaxo. Its just begging for all you stupid people to get spammed because you've put everyones email address in it.
Google Calendar is very well done. Too bad they didn't put as much effort into gtalk or google video. I love the ability to share your calendars and to invite people. Very slick interface.
Totally agreed. I don't know why people are modding down your comment -- do they just not know what SyncML is? With SyncML you could sync with ANY cell phone out there that supports the standard, including the ubiquitous (and notoriously hard to program for) Motorola RAZR.
i agree partially with timtop. the potential for abuse is enormous, but google has stood up to government forces, the most recent of which was china. i confident they'll do so again and let everyone enjoy this great service privately.

Just the idea that my private information is out there, as reliably secure and trustworthy as it may be, is not very comforting one.
