not much really...i tried importing my outlook calendar, but all my appointments are offset by two hours, even both time zones are set up correctly

the problem with using google calendar, is that you have to manually update it with outlook if you want to use both. also, PDA only syncs with outlook.

microsoft exchange calendar FTW

but this is a good alternative if you use gmail as primary email, and you aren't in the business world

So this calendar just ties in w/ Gmail? Any other advantages? I'll probably use it for personal use.

if you dont' use exchange or plaxo, it allows you to have access to your calendar wherever you have internet

Nice, but I see one thing that could be improved. There is a quick link from the calendar to my email, but not from my email to the calendar.
(yes, that is a email problem, but they should all be connected IMHO)

I like it. Makes it easy for my wife and I to share each others calendars. Entering new events is a snap. We were using yahoo calendar beforehand, but entering new events was a lot more time consuming.

Well this isn't exactly the first one out there. Hotmail, Yahoo and there are others. I have been using Outlook for years.

This quick add kicks ass. The one crap thing that all Calendars have had so far was the dumb drop down menus to add stuff. You can easily make a mistake that way. This quick add feature is kick ass.

I agree... It would be awesome to be able to sync it on the road!
