After bringing the offline accessibility to Gmail, Google brings the same function to its calendar service. Currently in its beta stage, the offline calendar lets one view the schedule offline in case of weak Internet connection and traveling.
The offline calendar concept is ideal for those who're on the go and wish to check their schedule 'without' any active Internet or GPRS connection. This feature is made available to everyone though the usage of Google Gears, an open source browser extension for adding offline functionality.
Take your Google Calendar offline after signing into it and then click on "Offline Beta".
Google also offers offline mode with two-way sync for iPhone, Windows Mobile, Android and BlackBerry cellphones. For that, you'll need to have Google Sync on your mobile phone.
However, it is to be noted that Google Calendar is available offline in 'read-only' mode. Let's hope Google allows editing and creating appointments in calendar in offline mode too.
