For the groupware calendaring portion of it, a good answer is given in this AT thread.

It *is* integrated into gmail and it can sync with anythign that supports iCal or CSV.

Edit: It *is* groupware in that you can shar calendars.

Guys, take the time to investigate this product. They did a great job. And get used to the keyboard shortcuts.

That doesn't help at all. It would be awesome if it text messaged them to a cell phone.

Here's another great idea. Have it send you an email notification and that email gets sent to your phone as a text message. There are programs and services that can do this for you.

i believe it emails you the reminder. so all you have to do is forward your gmail to your phone. and here's how: http://www.geektronica.com/2005-11-06-h...ward-gmail-messages-to-your-cell-phone

*edit* see...sygyzy knows. it's like a borg collective

Didn't see it.

Why would you have it e-mail you, then have the e-mail forwarded to your phone if you can skip the middle man and have it go straight to your phone?

Of course you didn't. You like most of the complainers on this board logged in and looked at it for 1 minute then just started complaining.

yea, that's the problem I'm trying to figure out. (I use thunderbird)

So what's the point of this product? There are 100s of calendar products, with some of them coming free with your PC.

because it's web-based so you aren't restricted to your home machine, it'll contact you via your cellphone for reminders, and you can share your calendar with others.

and it's google so we love it

i really hope that have a 1 step integration w/ PDA's in development.

Neither have I. This reminds me when I tried to set mine up with MSN a week ago. Said it might take as long as five minutes to be sent, it took 5 hours.

And now if anyone tries to send me messages from MSN Messenger, most the time it gives some dumb error and does not work.

And every time I try to upload my Outllook calendar, it tells me 404 or whatever, server reset the connection. What gives? It either works or it does not.

Thank god! Now I can say goodbye to Outlook forever. However, they don't seem to have the interface to Gmail fully functional yet. Supposedly it is going to be able to recognize events in emails and add them automatically.
