[Discuss] Calendar application advice

[Murray Strome]

I was too hasty: Rainlendar Lite (and probably the pro version as well) is not available for Android nor for Apple mobile devices. It is a possibility for LINUX, Windows and x86 based OS-X. That is also the problem with Thunderbird or SeaMonkey.

i'm pretty sure you can configure thunderbird lightning to just read an 
ICS file off a shared folder (which would work if you have dropbox 
syncing to your local filesytem).

that doesn't help you with IOS and android, though.
