Stay on Top with These Windows Phone 7 Calendar Apps

Windows Phone 7 Calendars

Windows Phone 7 comes with a single, powerful calendar app that allows you to sync with various popular calendar services – so why would you need any others?

Well, there is more to a calendar app than just displaying appointments and tasks that have been synced from an Exchange calendar. You might wish to know particular special dates that aren’t available through your corporate network or Windows Live or Google Calendar, for instance.

This selection of Windows Phone 7 calendar apps are available from the Zune Marketplace, accessible via a Windows Phone 7 device or the Zune desktop client.

Note that all apps available on the Zune Marketplace can be downloaded initially as trial software.
