It’s been expected for a long time, but one of the 200 people in the closed beta of Google’s calendar, CL2, leaked some screen shots to Michael Arrington at TechCrunch.

The ship date may be some way off, but it seems probable that CL2 will provide close integration with Gmail, syncing with other calendars and devices; SMS notification; and take feeds from event aggregation services. While all that may be good news for end users, it’s bad for the current crop of Ajax-based calendars such as AirSet, Planzo, CalendarHub, Spongecell, and 30 Boxes.
