Google launches offline calendar?

By | March 14, 2008, 7:48am PDT

One of my observant readers noticed today that his “settings” page in Google Calendar (and mine too) shows a new tab for “Offline”. It then prompts you to install Google Gears to enable the feature.

I already had Gears, but it still prompted me to install, so I’m thinking it’s not quite working yet. The “Learn More” link also points nowhere — I’m thinking they are just getting ready to release to the masses.

This has been in the works for quite a while, but it’s nice to see it finally coming to fruition. This comes very shortly after launching Outlook integration — with offline support too, it’s becoming a very viable Outlook alternative, even for the enterprise.

Are you having any more luck? If you have it working, leave a TalkBack!

Using Google calender with PDAs

It's about time Google offer a serious/robust solution to the on/offline use of Google calendar through PDAs (i.e., not iPhone)

I didn't have the "Offline" link in my settings page, but putting this in my browser's address bar (while viewing my settings page) brought it up...
javascript:void((function(){if (3!=0) {_GenSettings(3);}})())
