iCal -- the desktop calendar - redefined

"Never before has it been so easy to manage all the calendars in your life," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "iCal features a breakthrough way to share calendars over the Internet -- with colleagues, friends, family, customers, suppliers, students and parents."

iCal makes it incredibly easy for consumers, students, educators and small business users to:

-- create and manage individual or group activities on single or multiple calendars;

-- publish these calendars on the web for colleagues, friends and family members to view;

-- subscribe to automatically updated calendars via the Internet to keep up with work schedules, family events and school events;

-- organize and track activities with To Do list management;

-- quickly locate any event via a lightning fast search tool; and

-- take calendars to go on Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, Palm OS devices and iPod(TM) with iCal and Apple's soon-to-be-released iSync.

Apple is also making free calendar content available online (http://www.apple.com/ical) so users can easily add professional and collegiate sports schedules, movie and DVD release dates and national and religious holidays to their iCal calendars.

iCal is available immediately as a free download at http://www.apple.com/ical and requires Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar." Publishing calendars on the Internet requires a .Mac membership or access to a WebDAV server.
