Add Google Calendar Appointments from Your Phone

If you're a Google Calendar user (and by all rights you should be), here's an easy way to add new appointments when you're away from your PC: Send a text message from your phone.

All you do is create an outgoing SMS with details about the event, such as "Lunch with Tom at 12:30 pm Wednesday." Send the message to GVENT (48368) and presto: Google Calendar adds it to your schedule, at the same time sending an SMS reply confirming the details. While you're at it, shoot the word "day" to the same number and you'll get a reply listing all the day's events; "nday" returns tomorrow's schedule. [via Download Squad]
