| ![]() | | ![]() | What's new with Google Calendar Just launched! Stay on task with Google Calendar on your iPhone
With an easy-to-read interface, Google Calendar now works (and looks) better on your iPhone. Enhanced 'touch-screen' buttons and color-coded events make keeping track of your schedule - and viewing others' calendars - even easier while you're on the go. Learn More 
And much more... Ever since we launched Google Calendar, we've been listening to our users and working hard to make Google Calendar even better. Here are a few of the features we've added: - Google Calendar gallery
Many different organizations and individuals share their calendars publicly through Google Calendar. Now users can access any of these calendars through a easy-to-browse gallery. You can find all sorts of interesting calendars that let you keep track of your favorite basketball team's schedule, know when your favorite TV show is a repeat, or follow your favorite band's concert tour. Visit the Google Calendar gallery to see more.
 - Calendar on your Phone
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format. - Reminders from all your calendars
You can now receive email or mobile text-message reminders for all your personal calendars. You can also set different types of reminders for each of your events. Google Calendar can notify you of upcoming events, new, changed and cancelled invitations, invitation replies or it can send you a daily agenda every morning. You do not have to worry about missing a thing. - Share calendars with friends
Found a public calendar of events that you would like to send to a group of friends? No problem. Simply click on the arrow next to the calendar, select "Send to a friend" and type in the email addresses of people with whom you would like to share it. Now, you can keep anyone up to date on upcoming events that you find on Google Calendar. - Your not-so-digital calendar
We understand that not everyone has a PDA or wifi connection all the time. Some people like having a printed agenda. So, we have added some features to make it easier for you to have a physical copy of your calendar. You can change font size, orientation and choose colour or black and white mode. - Search and Add Events from the Web
Now you can search the web for events and add them directly to your Google Calendar. Within Google Calendar, type an event search into the search box like "Symphony in San Francisco" and click "Search Public Events". You'll see a list of events that you can easily add to your Google Calendar.
Simply click on an event listing and you'll be able to see a map of where the venue is located and the corresponding times at which the event occurs. To add to your calendar, click on the time of the event and select "copy to my calendar". - Calendars with web content events and special icons
We've added a new calendar format with a little extra eye candy. These calendars have small icons at the top of the day when there's new information.
Using these calendars, you can now get some extra information directly in your calendar view — like the upcoming weather, the phases of the moon, and even a heads up when a new Google Doodle appears on Google.com.
To get the weather forecast calendar for cities in the U.S., sign in to Google Calendar and click Settings to update your weather preferences.
To add the Google doodles calendar or the moon phases calendar, click the plus symbol (+) next to "Other Calendars" on the left side of your screen. Select the "Browse Calendars" tab and then look in the "Fun Calendars" area. When you find the calendar you want, just click the "Add Calendar" button.
If you're interested (and technically inclined) you can publish a calendar in the iCal format that takes advantage of this new format, or use the updated Google Calendar Data API to make calendars like this of your own. Learn more
- Google Calendar in 17 new languages
We've heard from Google users all over the world who wanted Google Calendar in their own languages, so we've been working hard to make this happen. If one of these is your preferred language of choice, give the new interface a try: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Polish, and English (UK). - Have your own domain? Now it's even easier to share calendars within your school, business or organization.
Google Apps brings powerful tools — like Google Calendar, Gmail and Google Talk — to all of the user accounts at your own custom domain. Useful features like simpler calendar sharing between users at your domain enhance communication and collaboration. And you can personalize the interface with a customized icon so it feels like your own. It's free, and there's no hardware or software required.
