Google starts the Easter holidays with its release of Google Calendar! Its interface is very similar to Gmail and many of its features are similar to Yahoo! Calendar. You can quick add, you can share your calendars, you can invite and RSVP, and soon-to-be-integrated with Gmail, it will even recognise events mentioned in Gmail.

It uses iCal based file format but you can easily import CSV files into it. Unfortunately, for still-loyal user of Palm like me still have to wait on further development for seamless integration with .dab based files. I bet it wont be months before this is achieved. Yahoo!Calendar already has this as permanent feature in addition to its Yahoo!Intellisync.

I was waiting patiently for Mozilla’s Sunbird to develop, but it still discriminates against Palm user. I hope this is not the case for Google Calendar. My Tungsten C feels lonely enough.

I have yet to try this, but in the mean time, i could possibly import the dab files into Yahoo!Calendar, and export it into CSV files, which is to be imported back into Google Calendar. And vice versa.

Another feature that is important in any Calendar program is ToDo list with due date, which is yet to be included in the Google Calendar.
The popular iCal format that enables people to share calendars is what driving this format to be adopted by Google. It is no surprise that i found Melb Uni Big Dates when i searched for Australian calendar under Google Calendar.

Simply amazing!
