I think they would find another way to do if, sure - but it's nice to dream once in a while of a world with no contracts and simple pay-as-you-go service.

Ok, bay to reality...

We love it too!

Hey Warren,

I feel your pain! The iPhone is such a great device in all its ways, but the calendar's lack of features and flexibility is sometimes astounding. If your company uses Exchange, I'd suggest the following: use the Exchange web interface to make your appointments, which then synchronize back to the built-in iPhone calendar. Does that make sense?

Let's hope Apple will take care of these nagging issues with the calendar with a software update (sooner rather than later).

Nice! Glad I could help!

Hopefully that will change soon!

Nice plug

Sent!

Thanks! Fortunately, Apple listened to us and made what I'm requesting possible in iTunes 9. :)

Amy, I recommend reading the entire response thread above. What you're experiencing with the reminders is exactly what I (and many others) are complaining about here. Specifically, reminders on the iPhone have much room for improvement: they need to stay on the screen longer and become more "in your face." The ability for a reminder to not go away until you tell it to is important for me (and I'm guessing for you).

As for Peter, I provided a specific step-by-step outline of how to sync calendars using the best calendar on the web - Google Calendar. See my response to him immediately below his comment. :)

Cool beans!

The fact that it\'s Google behind it is what\'s \"new.\" To me, that\'s exciting for several reasons:
1) There is a new OS on the block
2) It\'s free and will have a different revenue model behind it (like Android)
3) It\'s Linux-based - like you said (like Android) which means that after years of hoping for market share gains, Linux may finally gain large market share on the desktop.

All in all, I think the integration with Google\'s cloud services will be what\'s most interesting here.
