Google integrating Goals feature in Calendar starting today

Google is expanding the functionality of their Calendar App by adding a new Goals feature on mobile. According to Google, "Goals is a tool that makes it easier to find the time to do the things that really matter to you.  Whether it’s running, practicing yoga or learning a new language—you can now add a personal goal—like “run 3 times a week”—and Calendar will help you find the time and stick to it."

To set a goal (like “Work out more”), simply answer a few questions (like “How often?” and “Best time?”), and you’re all set. From there Calendar will look at your schedule and find the best windows to pencil in time for that goal.

Calendar can help you adjust in a number of important ways. For example, Calendar will automatically reschedule if you add another event that's a direct conflict with a goal. You can also can defer a goal at any time, and Calendar will make time for it later.To get started, download the Google Calendar app for Android or iPhone, and set your first goal.

On one hand, it brings back a popular and known size and form factor and imbues it with the latest processing power, camera technology and software enjoyed by the larger flagship iPhones; yet it doesn’t look new or as innovative as some of the newer devices that have come to market.
