The problem with some of the calendars is that the ics file that the link points to is zipped (*.ics.zip) and it seems like mobile safari can’t handle this. Anyone know a solution?

How can you change the color of the subscribed calendar events? On iCal on the Mac, you can get info and change it, but I could not find a way to do it on the iPhone.

This feature is awesome. I’ve been using the Firefox plugin ReminderFox along with the free icalx.com site. Now I can get the icalx calendars synced to my phone! Perfect!

I had to double tap the link and then it worked (odd) but I’ve got all the US Holidays on my iPhone now yay!

Nice, I was doubting that calendar subscriptions would be useful in a non-business setting.

Chris: I subscribed successfully to the Patriots calendar, but there's nothing on it yet. I would imagine it will be updated as the season approaches. I have mobileme though, so I think mine will update automatically when the schedule is added. I'm not sure how it works without mobileme.

You can add calendars manually by on the iPhone by selecting “Settings” > “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > ”Add Account…” under “Accounts” Select “Other” at the bottom select “Add Subscribed Calendar” (or CalDAV for CalDav calendars, like Google), then paste in the URL to the .ics file. Worked fine for me, adding my F1 calendar

Although this is a fairly convoluted process Apple, thanks! Surely you’d think you just click the link to the .ics file in Safari, but no!

F1 calendars are here BTW if anyone wants them: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/calendar/default.stm

Now would this be a better way to sync my google than using GoogleSync?
