Works with other applications and devices
iCal can interoperate with other Mac OS X applications as well as Apple and non-Apple hardware. For example, it can share information Mail, Address Book , and third-party applications. iCal can also share information with other Macs, an iPhone or iPod, and other devices.
The image below shows the default screen of iCal in Mac OS X Leopard.
The following image shows that the default view has been changed to include a mini month on the bottom left corner. Notice how two calenders show up on the upper left pane, these are the two default calenders in iCal.
