原文: Living Googly: Google Cal on Cellphones

jacqui_mobilecalendar.pngJacqui Cheng over at Ars Technica is pretty excited about Google Calendar for mobile phones, a service you can get to with a standard Gmail account by visiting calendar.google.com from your phone or PDA. What did she like?


• Events are displayed in a "small-screen friendly list format"
•Clicking on event shows details, and even has map links, which she finds "helpful when I'm out and about"
• Main calendar page displays next 10 events "no matter when they occur...over a period of two days or three weeks"
• Users add entries via phone by typing simple text: "1pm brunch Sunday" is smartly interpreted and entered into both mobile cal and online Google cal "more or less instantly"

Cheng did complain about the lack of alerts, but according to Google, you can set up SMS notification for your calendar entries regardless of whether or not you're running the mobile software. She did not mention what phone she used for the test, or even which phones are or are not supported.

Is it as sweet as Cheng says, or is she just drinking the Google-Aid? If you've already tried it, please fill us in.

Jacqui陈在Ars Technica上评论说,对于Google发布移动版日历(Google Calendar ),他感到十分兴奋。你可以通过手机或掌上电脑登陆calendar.google.com来管理自己的日程安排。那它到底是怎么样的呢?

所有操作都在一个小巧玲珑的显示器上完成

记录你的详细日程,甚至可以给日程的地址建立一条地图链接,在您外出时提供便利

主日历上始终显示最近的十个日程,不管是过了2天,还是3个星期您都不会错过重要信息

用户进入时只需要输入简单的文本:比如输入"1pm brunch Sunday",它就会立刻显示从手机网和谷歌网上搜索的信息。

陈先生对于缺乏提醒功能这一点有所抱怨,但根据谷歌的说法(according to Google),不管你是否运行手机软件(software),你都可以建立SMS notification提醒功能。谷歌并没有提及测试手机的品牌,也许现在的手机还不能支持这一功能。

这会是个不错的设计吗?或者她仅仅是谷歌引擎的辅助工具?
