Looks Like Google Calendar Offline is Getting Close
March 8th, 2008
Looks like the Google Calendar/Google Gears combo is getting near. While at Google Calendar I executed the following in the address bar of my browser:
javascript:_olp_showPromo();
I was immediately greeted with this:
I went ahead with the Google Gears installation and restarted my browser. Upon returning to Google Calendar, I found these on the resulting page:
I went ahead and allowed Google Calendar to use Google Gears, however, now I keep getting this page when I go to Google Calendar:
Clicking the Save or Cancel button will then bring up the Calendar. There are no links or controls on the Calendar (yet) for utilizing the offline feature. Looks like they are very close though.

If this happens, I will truly be completely googled. Not that I’m not already, but this will be beyond fantastic.

very cool indeed! the lack of offline options really has kept me from using google calendar over my outlook calendars but now it looks like i’m running out of excuses.
i still love using google gears for my google reader and my trips up to the farm (nice having those offline feeds!)

We are taking another direction for the use of Google services with our free application KiGoo which integrates those services within MS Outlook.
Off line is one of our next features planned to be developed soon in order to support several Google services like Calendar, Docs and Contacts.
The cool thing is that our core technology (Kayxo Insight) allows us to connect to any Google API to manage it within MS Outlook.

It is a great improvement giving us offline access for the calendar, now all they need to do is give us the ability to link between gmail and the calendar and google might have a competitor for outlook.
