The plot thickened on Thursday when Googlified noticed a new option in the settings section of Google Calendar. Go ahead and check, odds are you'll see an "Offline" tab in your own calendar settings. When you click the tab, you're told to download Google Gears. Unfortunately, once you install Google Gears, nothing seems to happen. Visiting Google Calendar with Gears installed just brings up the plain old Google Calendar with no option to save your data for offline viewing. But we get the feeling that Google wouldn't be adding features to the Google Calendar settings menu if the company didn't plan to activate those features soon.

Is this why the one time I actually tried to use Google calendar the other day it wouldn't let me add csv files?

Same here in Google Calendar in french.

That JavaScript hack has been around a long time. I think I was the first to mention it here, almost 5 months ago:

Google has been working on this for sometime now.
If you're looking for a Google Calendar offline solution in the meantime you might want to check out one of our products called Calgoo Calendar.
On top of that we offer various other calendaring solutions that solve many of the major calendaring pains out there such as syncing and sharing.
Food for thought!
