Mark, We've spent lots of time and effort developing an extension to Google Calendar, and while I certainly hope what happened to you doesn't happen to us, there's no guarantee that it won't. We knew that going in, and I assume you did too.
I don't think you can blame Google for adding something as valuable as a mobile interface to their product. That being said, showing your product while theirs was obviously under development and almost ready to release was pretty lame on their part. I hope if we wind up in the same position we at least get a courtesy call first. -c On May 25, 2:59 pm, mark999 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I signed up for a Google Developer's Key so that I could use GData for > a Mobile Calendar Application.
