And what a great way to eat RIM's lunch. I don’t get why people aren’t pushing this, Judson - it seems like such a no-brainer to me. And what a great way to eat RIM’s lunch.

This is an industry standard that Apple otherwise supports a lot anyway, OS X server, iCal (the application) etc all support it. Google Calendars supports it also, Upcoming etc. It doesn't though, who knows why. This is a huge deal to me also. I basically don't use the calendar app because of this, relying on google mobile calendar instead. It seems odd, but you are the first person I have seen talking about it, I would think it would be a big obvious deal for lots of people also.
