SEVEN adds Google Calendar Support

[02840]

From the SEVEN press release:

<snip>
The improved calendar access is an extension of System SEVEN's true push technology, which already delivers the most intuitive mobile messaging experience to more than 130 operators and more than 450 leading device models worldwide. The enhanced calendar support for Web email services allows mobile phone users to not only view calendar requests , but also update their calendar, create and delete appointments and more—right on their phone. Key features include:

• Ability to accept, reject or reschedule meetings and appointments: users can manage their calendar the same way they would on their desktop, enabling them to better manage their time.
• Real-time, two-way synchronization: with SEVEN's true push capabilities, calendar updates are automatically, in real-time, synchronized between the server and the mobile device. The two-way synchronization increases users' productivity by letting them manage their Google Calendar on their phone while ensuring that changes are reflected on the server.
• Meeting reminders: reminders, one of users' favorite calendar capabilities, are also available. Users can choose between visual and/or sound alerts as reminders of upcoming meetings. Users can dismiss or snooze the reminder.
• Read/Write Offline Accessibility: with SEVEN, the Google Calendar is also accessible offline, for access outside of coverage areas or in places where the use of mobile phones is banned. When offline, users can not only view their Google Calendar, but they can also create, edit and change calendar entries. Server synchronization occurs as soon as the phone is connected back to the network. <snip>

The press release also mentions that this upgrade is available now as an update to SEVEN beta users. http://community.seven.com

I haven't had time to try it out yet, but I'd be interested in hearing about others that have.

I guess I am confused, I have been using SEVEN with google calendar for a while now. Is there something new to it that I am not seeing?

Does anyone know if this supports multiple Google Calendars?

Honestly, I haven't used SEVEN in a couple months now (and was using it for push and contacts) but I don't remember it having Google Calendar sync or those "key features".

Took a quick glance at the SEVEN forums and it looks like it's just the default calendar with no plans for multiple calendars yet. You may want to take a look over there to see if I missed anything, and to voice your opinion if you'd like multiple calendar sync.
