It’s been what… two weeks since OS 3.0 came out, and I’ve explored most of the new features by now. One of the new features of OS 3.0 is bein’ able to send (and receive) email invites to people for events in the calendar app.

So the first time to test this out came last night… I’ve been emailin’ a bud from my home town about seein’ the Brüno movie. When ya live an hour away and work a lot, you gotta’ do a lotta’ plannin’ in advanced. I had a date set in my calendar, July 10th, the day the movie comes out… and added my bud as a person attending.

We then realized we wanted my girl to go, so I started emailin’ her, and she said she’d go. So I invited her to the event. But then she emailed me she couldn’t make it the 10th, so after a lot of back and forth emails and forwards between the three if us, we finally set on that following Tuesday after the movie comes out.

So I went and changed the event. I’m thinkin’ “Good, now at least they’ll all ve emailed about the change.”. Nope… Well if they’re not bein’ emailed about changes, what’s the point of being able to invite people to calendar events?

I searched online and found out the answer…

“the ability to invite attendees to a meeting from your iPhone – introduced in 3.0 – doesn’t work with Google Calendar at this time”

So there’s our answer… If you use Google Calendar, like I do, then invitations aren’t workin’ yet. It ain’t'a ‘thang though…
