Like Google Calendar but don’t have a smartphone? You may want to try out GCal, a new, free Java ME application, which allow you to manage your Google Calendar appointments from your mobile phone, no matter where you happen to be.

Although it’s still in an alpha stage, the app allows users to filter their data, create new events, search for events and even view events on a map! Not bad for an early release, not bad at all.

Download is available from here, and you can read the “official blog post” from here. While there, feel free to drop your two cents about the features you want to see in the future releases. I’m sure there are many other users who need something similar functions as you do.

Alternatively, you may want to simply sync data from Google Calendar with your built-in PIM app using GooSync. It’s your call.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
