Google Calendar app is now available for all Android devices as long as they run Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3+ or Jellybean. Previously the application was shipping with select smartphones like Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, and now everyone can join the party.
Aside from the standard calendar features like creating, editing, deleting events and responding to invitations, there are also few extras that help you manage your time and communication more easily. For instance, you can snooze events directly from a notification if you’re not quite ready and want to be reminded later, and use predefined messages to send quick “I’ll be late” updates to your event participants directly from the notifications or the event itself. In addition, there’s pinch to zoom in and out of a day, as well as the ability to set a home time zone to help you manage your time better when traveling. Finally, the sync period has been expanded so you can review past events from up to one year ago directly on your device.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
