Via Daring Fireball, comes this review of BusyCal 1.1, the replacement for Apple’s iCal application. Seems it is good, but they make some glaring UI errors.
For me, however, the lack of Exchange support means it is never going to even get considered. Without the ability to sync with my work calendar it is useless to me. This is a real shame as the native iCal application does leave a little to be desired, not least in the way I have to double-click and then press ‘EDIT to be able to change details of an event. An app that could fix that, keep the look and feel of the original, and talk to Google Calendar would be worth having, and would certainly get the $25 a year I currently pay for Spanning Sync.

BusyCal currently READS Exchange calendars… you just can’t write to them at the current time. I’m sure that’s coming in a future version.
Thanks Scott, that’s good to know. Unfortunately one of the companies I work with has changed it’s access to Exchange, meaning Exchange is less important for me. I think I need to take another look at this app.
