[...] I think that Google’s personalized home page for mobiles is pretty cool, and sort of expected calendar information to be integrated into it, but no. Visiting calendar.google.com from my mobile browser just takes me to the standard site, where the AJAXy goodness is a problem, and Opera Mini is no help, either. Gmail has a decent little basic HTML site that offers a simple set of functionality, Google Calendar needs something similar as well. [...]

I just wrote something about this as well (http://kvet.ch/articles/2006/04/13/google-calendar-swing-and-a-miss). It is infuriating that they could release what is, essentially, a me-too of the worst kind.

It is no better than any other calendar out there. It just has Google search (and advertisement mining) for your trouble.

Why they (and Apple’s .Mac ( http://kvet.ch/articles/2006/04/05/make-mac-mobile )) can’t setup a nice and simple Sync service is beyond me.

Nice work!
Ive used http://www.google.com.au/ig/mobile (notice the .au) which brings up the same page except its using ¨∫C instead of ¨∫F for local temperatures (really well thought).
There still seem to be some xhtml formatting (br not closed) & compatibility issues (ie. can’t submit login form on lgu880 3G handset) but really cool.

Google’s mobile homepage — the coin has dropped…

Google yesterday announced the Google Personalized Home for mobile devices. Like John Battelle, we’ve been frustrated with our Treo experience, and so were immediately intrigued by this latest Google Mobile feature, which promised to simplify things….

[...] Carlo at MobHappy has a dead on comment about mobile services and why, perhaps, there has been les uptake that might have been expected. Google Drops Personalized Mobile Home Page at MobHappy ItÇƒÙs not hard to think that one reason people have only embraced the mobile Internet to a certain degree is because theyÇƒÙve been forced, to a large part, to adopt one set of sites and services when theyÇƒÙre on the computer, and yet another when theyÇƒÙre on the mobile phone. This isnÇƒÙt to say that there arenÇƒÙt things better suited to each medium, or that there are things people will want to access when theyÇƒÙre on their phone that theyÇƒÙd never want to access when theyÇƒÙre on a PC. But that should be the choice of the user, not of the carrier. If the carriers wonÇƒÙt offer open services that integrate with those that people are used to using on the wired Internet, Google will. And it will be the one to gain from it. [...]

All good from Canada. I’m on Rogers with a BlackBerry 7100 and I use all of Googles mobile services without a problem. Now, if only I could import my OPML for all of my feeds into Google Homepage…

-> Niraj
It is at http://m.gmail.com I’ve got problems. The design of the login-page is a bit messy, but inside the mailbox everything looks fine. The problem is that somehow my phone will not store google cookie, and therfore I have to enter my name and password for every page I load. I also hat the problem with storing cookies between sessions at iGoogle.
Other sites do well in my phone, so I’m not sure if the problem comes from the phone (nokia 6230i) or the fact that i’m in Denmark.
