iCal 1.5.1 and iSync 1.2.1 Released

Wednesday October 8, 2003 6:47 am PDT by Arnold Kim
Apple released new versions of both iCal and iSync today.



    In addition
    to managing multiple calendars and sharing them over the Internet, iCal now
    includes an all-new interface for creating and managing event details and
    improved support for working across time zones. iSync, which allows users to
    instantly sync their Mac address book and calendars with their mobile phone,
    Palm OS device, iPod(TM) and other Macs, now delivers calendar support for
    Symbian-based smartphones and supports new mobile phones from Sony Ericsson,
    extending Apple's lead in integrating with Bluetooth-enabled phones.



Both applications are available immediately as free downloads from Apple.com and in your Mac OS X Software Update.



These updates have been long expected and were first noted in late August.

Well, I'll test this for sure when I get home. I actually would have been more happy if they improved the online side of things.

Example: Posting my iCal events online saves me from having to cart paper between work and home. I wish they added online tools for editing on the .mac account. I'm not allowed to have OS X at work, so via the browser is all I got. I just email myself all the info that I need to add or update.

Published iCals are not accessible through the .mac login. I would like to see an easy to navigate URL.

WTF! This app just became more or less useless - at least on my 17" Studio Display.

The info-pane is so big it slides out of sight, forcing me to resize the iCal window, thus making the main view look cramped (harder to read) and almost useless. I'm speechless...

Good grief Apple, get a clue.

:mad:

This is the thing I am more apprehensive about. But at least now my P800 will also have my calendar and To Do items. Given all the problems that I have had with iSync in the past (with my old Handspring Visor, mainly), I am holding my breath.

I'll have a sense by the end of the day how it is.

What if Panther is like this? I think I'll wait now... I'll wait for panther 10.3.1... and wait to read about how well that is too!
