Despite all the advantages of using a web-based calendar, some people still want to use Google Calendar as a stand-alone desktop app, and thanks to a pair of programs--one for Windows, one for Mac OS X--now they can. Gcal.Win and Gcal.app put Google Calendar in its own Window, free from distractions (and free of charge). Another potential solution for Windows users is to make Google Calendar your desktop. The maker of Gcal.Win has also released Googlr (currently in beta), a generalized version of the app that encapsulates many of Google's web-based tools into one stand-alone program.[Via Lifehacker]

I haven´t downloaded this file, for one simple reason: you seem to imply that this can be used off line, but the programmers discrition states that it is a small browser (ergo- it should only be funcional on-line).
It may be a very usefull program, but if I wanted to use a on-line calendar, I would use my browser of choice (Firefox), not another app...

Good point, Paulo. I didn't mean to imply otherwise, but you are correct, this doesn't enable you to use Google Calendar offline.
