I have been searching for a mechanism to link our company production calendar to the field reps in order to have instant access to information. With Airset, you find that any input from the field can be sync'd to your PC desktop automatically. There are no special plug ins or language that has to be used. Straight and to the point. Airset will sync to either Palm or Outlook. As a result, a small company can actually use this thing without fear of the local ISP service crashing your daily activities when the line drops due to maintanance or other mishaps. All your information has been backed up to your local desktop and the world keeps moving forward. I believe that is the fear of many small businesses and the reason they do not adopt online calendaring. The fear of losing information that is crucial to their operation. That is where Airset will gain its popularity in my opinion over other services. By offering the service free and allowing small businesses the chance to test drive, they open up their market to the cell phone paid service. Presently, with Verizon or other cell providers, you can be paying well over $30 per month for access to this type of thing with a smart phone. Now AirSet turns a regular phone into a way to check that every changing work calendar and make good decisions based on that information. Some have claimed they would not pay $7 per month for this? Give me a break...$23 per month times 10 field reps over a years time.....you do the math. I like AirSet. Now the only question is....how long will the PC based system be free and can be depended upon by small business America?

I've tried virtually ever other online calendar and none seem to have this very (obvious) useful feature. It's incredible to be able to add an event via the web and know it will then also be added to my desktop calendar....or I can add it on my desktop and know that the calendar will be available online without the hassle of setting up WebDAV or the other hassle. Great App, maybe lacking a bit on the shine and polish of the GUI, but easy and effective none the less.

It's all about how to organize your calendar and contacts. There is another site which I use for this purpose, but which includes more tools to specifically organize your family life. Its got the full feature calendar of course, plus contact lists, etc... but in a more family oriented way. They also include ways for you to create job charts for your kids, store recipes, graph your kids growth charts, maintain todo lists, shopping lists, etc.... It looks like a more complete package for someone who is wanted to organize their life (esp, if they have a family!) Check it out. It's also free (its best feature!) http://www.fircle.com Just visited airset.

The Verizon deal is a get it now app and there is a $6.49 subscription charge for it. There is no way I would pay $6+ a month to sync my calendar with my phone. For this kind of cash I will continue carrying my palm T2 until the v710 settlement comes through and I can trade it on a new treo 650.

Just because it is made my MS doesn't mean that it will monopolize it automatically. It's not like it is a desktop OS, where the software you use is preinstalled. Especially if Office Live has increased functionality with increased costs, people will be more willing to look @ alternatives other than MS. Who says Office Live will be the standard?
