iCal 1.5, iSync 1.2 and Preview 2.1
AppleInsider previews iCal 1.5, iSync 1.2 and Preview App 2.1.
While AppleInsider claims the updates to iCal, iSync and Preview will be coming with Mac OS X 10.3, previous rumors suggest that iCal 1.5 and iSync 1.2 may come independently -- and very soon. The most recent builds of Panther contain the updated version of these applications.
iCal 1.5 improvements include improved interface, Time Zone support, quick-key-commands and more. iSync 1.2 is said to provide increased phone, .Mac and iPod support.
Preview 2.1 is also reviewed, with confirmation of claims by Apple that the new Preview application will be much faster.

PDF viewing is abysmal on my ibook, so I'll definitely be happy to not get a beachball anytime I try to do anything with a pdf when Panther comes out.

I am hoping iCal v1.5 really is the update I have been waiting for. The current version is too slow, too quirky from an UI perspective, and missing too many basic features.
I won't use Entourage since I don't use proprietary files formats unless I need to, so I've been stuck with this crappy version.
If iCal is truly an upgrade, it'll be worth the price of Panther alone.

It is about time that Apple updated iCal. I have always disliked this app from a usability standpoint and used it only sparingly (to check dates, not make appointments, etc.). It is my feeling that this app didn't follow Apple's usual modus operandi in improving on existing ideas/creating apps that function properly, are functional and beautiful...
I can hardly wait for Panther...

iCal 1.5 looks like an improvement. I prefer the Info Drawer over the Inspector Window. I just wish I could put my To Do List at the bottom of the left column so I could make the main calender viewing area bigger.
Here's hoping it gets released before Panther!

well, my hope is that the idiosyncracies with ical will be fixed, like better handling of the to-do list, and how it integrates with the calendar. But they need to fix the speed problem with it too - takes too long to do much of anything for it to be of use to me yet - PalmDesktop is just quicker for me, not to mention it syncs faster.

I'm hoping that iCal lets you publish (to Web) a single calendar view that's made up of multiple iCal calendars. I hate only being able to see "Home" items without any "Work" items, for example. Many other improvements are needed, but I can't think of any off the top of my head as I stopped using the app a while ago.
