Google Calendar for Mobile

Rating: why would you pay data charges to see your calendar?

by Bena Roberts

OK. Google is following a dumping strategy where everything fixed gets dumped to mobile and the Calendar is a prime example.

The app might be fine and simple and all that… but (and there always is a but…)
One thing that mobile phone manufacturers targeting the business market have cornered is the calendar. The Calendar on any S60 or S90 device is free and its off-line and synchronising from PC to mobile is fast, free and easy. Even on older devices or ones from LG boast a nifty on device calendar app.

With data rates for off-portal as expensive as they are and business users already tech savvy in the mobile/ calendar space it’s unlikely that this Calendar service will be a god send for anyone apart from the army of Googlite nerds out there.
