Yes, it is beta, evidently more beta than Google’s other products, but Google Calendar is slowly showing signs of usefulness. Yesterday, i actually managed to subscribe to the iCal data from Google Calendar to Kontact, which i moaned about earlier.

Still, two things bug me. I cannot upload from Kontact to GCal, and the user interface of GCal is still far from polished. So for example when i edit the properties of a meeting, i have to press the Save button before i return to the calendar. Saving is done, in AJAX style, in the background and before the event is saved, you cannot return to the calendar without losing your changes. Same goes for any other calendar settings. And if you press the Save button when setting your settings, you are returned to your calendar. Not good if you want to change any other settings on another settings tab. But i guess these things will be fixed. Before Google Calendar goes gold. Or before 2038. Whichever comes first.
