Google Calendar has released a new iPhone/iPod Touch site designed to optimize the interface for Apple's touch screen devices.
The new version can be found at and will auto-detect the mobile version of Safari (if you want to see it your browser you'll need to spoof your user agent).
The new interface is a color-coded list of all your calendars and selecting anything in the list will take you to the detail view where you can find specifics like any notes or directions attached to the event.
There's also a page to control which of your calendars are visible, but there isn't any way to see a month view or otherwise control what's included in the calendar listings. On the bright side, the interface is lightweight and fairly fast, which should be good for those times you're stuck on the EDGE network.
[Update: A reader contacted me to say this wasn't working on the iPod Touch, can anyone else confirm that? It works just fine on my iPhone. I suspect perhaps the problem is in the detection script, but I'd like to know if it's working for any other iPod Touch users out there...]
