One of the new features of the iPhone OS 3.0 update is the ability of the iPhone calendar application to subscribe to iCal calendars. The method is not intuitive however. Basically the Mail application is the ‘vehicle’ for the subscription. Just paste a raw calendar URL into a message and send it to yourself. With the new “copy & paste” feature of iPhone OS 3.0, it might be possible to do it all on the phone! Open the message on the iPhone. Touch the subscription URL and the pop-up message “Subscribe to the calendar ‘{Calendar Title}’?” appears with the option to subscribe. Easy when you know how!
Subscribed calendars are grouped separately from the synced MobileMe calendars, so it’s easy to display them separately. That’s essential for me as I mainly subscribe to sporting event calendars which can make the calendar very messy on the weekends.
