VueSoft has recently released a freeware calendar and reminder program for Windows, titled VueMinder Calendar Lite. You can learn moreabout it or download it from http://www.vueminder.com

VueMinder Calendar Lite is a FREE calendar and reminder program for Windows. It supports multiple calendars displayed simultaneously in layers. These can be viewed and printed by day, week, or month. They can also be visually distinguished using unlimited combinations of fonts, background colors, and gradient styles. It also integrates a semitransparent calendar into your Windows desktop, so you’ll always be able to see your upcoming events.

VueMinder Calendar Lite provides a number of reminder options including pop-up reminders and desktop alerts. Desktop alerts fade into view unobtrusively in the lower-right corner of the screen. Recently viewed or dismissed reminders are easily accessible and can be redisplayed with a single click.

VueMinder Calendar Lite supports the iCalendar standard, allowing subscriptions to calendars located on both your local network or over the web. You can also export to iCalendar files, and use those in other calendar programs. A wide variety of print layouts and styles are also provided, along with a dynamically updating print preview window that allows you to instantly see what will be printed as the various printing options are modified.

For an even more full-featured calendar program, consider trying VueMinder Calendar Pro, which allows you to publish calendars over the web or to your local network, import and export to Excel, sync with Outlook, send SMS and email reminders, customize the interface with themes and user-defined layouts, and much more.

Google added the labs concept (known from Gmail) to Google Calendar. It is starting out with six features that users can add: Next Meeting, which shows how much time is left before your next meeting; Free or Busy to see show who is currently in meetings; World Clock for tracking different timezones; Background Image; Attach a Google Doc; and Jump to Date. As with Gmail Labs, we can expect more features to come — and not just from Google itself, since the company is releasing an application programming interface (API) that will allow external developers to build their own Calendar applications too.

With the iPhone OS 3 Apple made it easy to subscribe to ical file. These are the files that make sure you are alwasy up-to-date with eg your favourite sportsteam. Much like an rss feed to your calendar. Just visit a webpage with an ical file (eg http://www.markthisdate.com/calendar/Philladelphia_Phillies_MLB_2009_9688/add-to-calendar.html) and click the Apple iCal link. In general: any link starting with webcal:// and/or ending with .ics will work. Any changes in the schedule you subscribed to will reflect in your iPhone’s calendar.
