Apple first previewed its MobileMe Calendar beta in early July. Tonight it went live.
When you first login to MobileMe you will be asked to upgrade your calendars. The upgrade takes a few minutes to complete and then the new options will be available to you.
Apple said in July the new calendar would include redesigned views for day, week, and month and a new events list. Event invitations and sharing calendars have also become much easier than with the older version.
MobileMe Calendar beta requires iOS 4 on the iPhone or iPod Touch, iOS 3.2 on the iPad, Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.4, and MobileMe Control Panel version 1.6 on Windows.
I wonder if they allow groups now? I was excited to try the beta a few weeks ago but it said it would destroy my groups, and I really like to keep home and work calendars separate.
So I would assume that it would be done in stages as I requested access yet have not seen anything like what you’re getting Jim.
Apple started sending out beta invites right after they opened for requests…so a month ago. You must have been pretty far down the list to only be getting yours now. 🙂
I got mine on July 18th.
I decided not to go with it because it appears that some part of the push functionality with my iPhone and iPad wouldn’t be working. I’ll wait until it’s done.
Working fine here, syncing with iPhone works both ways.
Just got my invite now. Thanks Apple for making me look dumb!
Well, I gave it a try last night. Crashed my iPad calendar over and over again. My computer calendar showed up as one big red block that covered the whole month. Calendar started not working on my iPhone 4 and iCal acted wonky. So I downgraded and will wait until it’s no longer a beta.
Uh it went live last month as the beta. I have been using it for around three weeks. I think this poster just received his invite.
yell it is not bad!

I tried it today and then ended up downgrading it. My ical info no longer pushes to my iphone even after downgrading. Soooo frustrated!
