The calendar topic

OK, mCalendar is great, but I still don't think it's a suitable app to say "a calendar is implemented". Hold it up next to the calendar on the wall. Does it even LOOK like a calendar? To most people, calendar == month view. I applaud the decision to make sync an integral part of the program, as well as making it finger-friendly, but If I tried to use it to keep my schedule, I'd be dead.

Agendus was very good. Pocket Informant was much much better. Mostly because he was willing to listen to users and apply suggestions.

My calendar expectations: Day view, multi (i.e. 3) day view. Week and 2 week view. Month view with icons. Filtered list view. Per-appointment colors and fonts. Different alarm sounds per appointment. Recurring tasks. Integration of tasks into the calendar. Simple on-the-go appointment/task entry. Sync and/or backup. Multiple calendars. More to come...
