GTasks in GCal

Google Tasks have been integrated with Google Calendar (finally! Expected this to be the first step than following its integration with Gmail). Features are awesome.

  • Once a Task is added to GTasks with a due date, it becomes a day's event in GCalendar.
  • One can create a Tasks from Calendar (only in All Day and Month views only).
  • Using Sort option in Actions of Tasks, one can finish in the order of due date
Things expected in future:
  • Assigning Priorities to Tasks (Its available in standalone GTasks app).
  • Adding Time aspect to the due date. Currently, its only at the Date level and not at Date & Time level
  • Default Calendar Notifications to get applicable to the Task (as in a Calendar event).
Access Calendar events through SMS:

Similar to SMS events usage in Google SMS Channels, one can create an event, know which is the next event for the day, total agenda for the day, next day's schedule - all through sms! Number: 48368 (GVENT). Its currently available only for US citizens. How to create using SMS? They give an example (Source):

"Send a message with something like "Shopping with Sarah at Monterey Market 5pm Saturday," Google Calendar can figure out what you mean and pop the new event into your calendar."
