"Using Google Calendar, you can add events and invitations effortlessly, share with friends and family (or keep things to yourself), and search across the web for events you might enjoy. It's organising made easy," the landing page for the new application states.

Users will need an account with the software vendor to be able to use the new calendar application. Supported Web browsers include Microsoft's Internet Explorer (version six or higher) and Mozilla Firefox (1.0.7 or higher).
