With two-way syncing to your mobile phone's built-in calendar or a mobile version of Google Calendar that's made for the small screen, you can access your calendar while you're away from your desk.

Customizable reminders help you stay on schedule. You can choose to be notified by email or get a text message sent right to your mobile phone.
