Chris: I subscribed successfully to the Patriots calendar, but there's nothing on it yet. I would imagine it will be updated as the season approaches. I have mobileme though, so I think mine will update automatically when the schedule is added. I'm not sure how it works without mobileme.

Although this is a fairly convoluted process Apple, thanks! Surely you'd think you just click the link to the .ics file in Safari, but no!

F1 calendars are here BTW if anyone wants them: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/calendar/default.stm

by droll.. did you mean troll.. lol.. I love my iphone, so.. no, that wouldn't be me.. I'm not sure what I was expecting I guess.. after all.. its just a calendar. Glad they brought this to the attention of folks though, like I said, if they were updated, this would be really nice.

But you can create a special calendar and share it with others.

And of cource, you can push events (invitations) to other people's calendars, which arrive in their email. If that happens to be a gmail account, you can add it to the calendar right from that Email.

oh, and @d.allen:

calendars seem very dated,

How very droll... ;-/

Forgot to actually post the site: http://www.icalworld.com/

I just found this site, which provides a ton of iCal style calendars. I haven't tried, but presumably, all of these could be subscribed to from an iPhone.

Open the email on your iPhone, click the link, and it will ask you if you want to add it.

I prefer this method to adding all of the holidays to my actual google calendar (done via importing the above link) since it shows them as a different color even on the phone.

I presume this would work for any site that allows you to get a public iCal file.

While I'm suggesting something...how about a landscape week at a glance view instead of the list view?

So instead, navigate to that same website from your mac or pc, copy the links into an email, you can create one email with all the links you want to subscribe to in the body of the email, send it to yourself.

On the iPhone, open the email and click on the links ONE AT A TIME, waiting for the dialogue box to popup before you click on the next. You'll see the same box shown above, click to subscribe and then move on to the next.

Works every time

i would like to know this also is there a way to merge this calender with the mobile me one i use now?

I had to click on it three times for it to work. It then popped up with a "Subsribe to US Holidays Calendar?"

Just try it a few times.
