In their continuing effort to make their web service applications available offline through open source Gears technology, Google has now made Google Calendar accessible while you’re not on the network.

The catch is that your calendar will only be available as read-only and you won’t be able to make new entries edit existing entries, but you will be able to make new entries.

We could wonder why Google took this halfass halfway approach?  They usually do better.

To enable, click Offline in the upper-right of the Google Calendar screen.
