Google Calendar can Remind You!

I have been using Gmail for a while now. I still don't use it as my main email/client, but I have been using webmail interface for my main client for quite some time. Although the Gmail interface has grown on me somewhat, I haven't been able to make the move to total Gmail immersion.

What does this have to do with the Google Calendar?

Wait for it... While I haven't given myself over to Gmail, I have begun to use the Google Calendar pretty much exclusively. I had, up until recently, been punching in events and appointments directly into my phone, or typing them into iCal on my Macintel and syncing it to my Razr. However, not too long ago Google added mobile capabilities to Gmail and Google Calendar. While the mobile Gmail isn't very impressive in my eyes, adding mobile notification to Google Calendar is... Wait for it... AWESOME!!!

For those interested in Google Calendar notifying them of events, you have but to login to the calendar, go to the settings and choose mobile settings. From there, you just follow the instructions.

I have to say that being able to change my Calendar from any web capable system AND Google sending event reminders via SMS Messaging to my cell phone is just STUPENDOUS! This is not the extent of Google Calendar's mobile capabilities, mind you. However, it is the most important aspect in my eyes.

If you have the means, I highly recommend it!
