OK, time to get specific. Here's my environment. My home computer is a macbook running OS X 10.5.6. At school, where I teach I have access to a generic PC running Windows XP. My portable device is an iPod Touch - Gen 1. School only allows Admins to add software. I do not have an admin password. I have a funny feeling that my environment is not that unusual.
iCal - If you have a Mac today you have iCal. If you have a Touch or an iPhone you have iCal. If you have both - you can sync them, but back to the plan:
- It must be available on OSX, Windows and Unix - Nope. Windows and Unix must be accessed via a clone
- I must be able to sync it easily from each environment - Nope. See Number 1.
- I must be able to view it on my iPod Touch. Again - Nope - Windows & Unix are not there - yet,
- It must have monthly, weekly and daily views. Actually Yes.
- It must print out a snappy, easy to read hard copy. Yup.
- It must print out a snappy, easy to read hard copy, Again Yes.
In spite of its easy to use format - iCal only gets 3 out of 6 for 50%
Tally:
- iCal 50%
- Open Office 0% - Not Available
Next - Google Calendar
Note: While Open Office does provide full Office compatibility, it does not support a calendar utility that is generally available./
