Mobile software vendor SEVEN may not be bringing any huge news to Vegas, but it's still making a small-to-medium sized splash by delivering Google Calendar access to millions of handsets. The access is being delivered via an update to the company's Integrated Mobile Messaging Platform, and any current mobile supported by SEVEN can take advantage. The improved calendar access is an extension of SEVEN's true push technology, and aside from giving users the ability view calendar requests, it also gives 'em the ability to update their calendar, create and delete appointments and more -- right on their phone. We'll be hitting the floor at CTIA to see what the fuss is all about, so be sure to keep it locked for more.
I'm interested to find out if this supports multiple Google Calendars....
Wow, so I'm testing it now and it seems to be pretty slick. It actually makes my Treo 700p usable. It looks like you can add multiple gmail or yahoo or aol accounts without a problem. The push is pretty nice, works like a champ and I love that it can notify me of a new email by an LED flash.
Just as an FYI it takes FOREVER to start up the app the first time you use it. It also remapped all of my keys on my phone to Seven software. All in all, I'm really quite pleased with this program. I hope this stays free for awhile -- at least until I get a new phone.
I used to use seven, but not anymore. Everytime you add an email account it sends an SMS to the UK to verify stuff, so it adds up to a few bucks of text messages...
