If you are interested, in my spare time, I could come up with something. There are couple ways to tackle this problem. One is to create a web interface specifically for IE Mobile. The other is to create a J2ME app much the same way as their Gmail mobile version works. J2ME app has its advantages. J2ME can interface directly with any mobile phone's PIM functions. Therefore, you could program the GCal Mobile to save an event on both the Google Calendar online and to your phone's PIM calendar. This way, you can have your data both persisted online and offline locally on your phone. The advantage of an IE Mobile version is that it supports AJAX. The disadvantage is that only Windows Mobile phones will be able to use the web app. References: <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/gdata.html" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/gdata.html</a> <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/clientlibs.html" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/clientlibs.html</a> <a href="http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/apis/pim/pim1/" rel="nofollow">http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/apis/pim/pim1/</a> Sounds like a perfect opportunity for an aspiring web developer to get into the game.

If you are impatient, you could certainly have a go yourself. Google publishes their Google Calendar APIs. So, just a matter of time.
