Apple issues MobileMe calendar beta

Early this morning, Apple released a beta of the MobileMe Calendar Web app. MobileMe customers can request an invitation at me.com/calendar.

As with the Mail beta, the new Calendar has received a major UI overhaul. A new list view, similar to what's on the iOS devices, makes it simple to scan upcoming events. Also, the day, week, and month views have been redesigned.

A new feature will let users share calendars with other MobileMe members. During the beta, you can share one read-only calendar. You'll also be able to send out invitations with RSVP from the Web app. Of course, users will still be able to sync all events between the Web app, desktop iCal, and iOS versions.

It might take a few days to receive your beta invitation, so be patient. The Mail beta became a final product in relatively short order, so we're looking forward to enjoying an all-new Calendar Web app soon.
