Industry pundits have for long been speculating that the future of computing is in mobile devices. This is especially true for a scheduling app like Google Calendar. Though just about every cellphone worth its name had a calendar app for ages, most of them lack the simplicity and the Google foo, which Google Calendar offers. Google seems to have understood that releasing a mobile friendly version of Google Calendar will boost up its user base by orders of magnitude, since smartphones have pretty much supplanted PDAs (and let’s not forget the PSPs and Nokia 770s).

The mobile friendly interface can be seen by visiting calendar.google.com from your phone. You can see your upcoming schedules and quickly add new to the calendar with details like time, location and description. It took these screenshots on my N95:

Following Gmail mobile, I knew it had to come someday, but just didn’t know when. Perhaps, it’s about time Google releases native j2me app for Google Calendar (quite like j2me app for Gmail).

  1. I love Verizon, but it’s stuff like this that makes me hate them. Not only is the GMail Mobile or Maps not work, this more then likely won’t either.

    Verizon has to stick to their, “We want control” attitude, every time.

  2. There is another service called GooSync which is free and can be used for synchronizing your Google Calendar with your mobile phone or PDA.

  3. right, Mobile calendars are a must, and Google indeed need to do more on that topic.

  4. I finally got a phone that is capable of supporting GCalendar, so I’m looking forward to trying this.

    This should be a good incentive to actually keep my calendar up to date!
