Am currently trying out Mozilla Sunbird, a new project Mozilla, maker of the uber-cool Firefox. is working on.

The Sunbird Project is a redesign of the Calendar component. Our goal is to produce a cross platform standalone calendar application based on Mozilla’s XUL user interface language.

Sunbird (name may still change) is still in alpha stages, so the app may still “contain serious bugs leading to application crashes, dataloss or other unforeseen consequences.” 

Unforeseen circumstances? Perhaps, something like your date standing you up or worse, your significant other breaking up with you? Or that meteor crashing into your backyard unscheduled?

At any rate, I’ve downloaded Sunbird, and will be trying it out. As I also intend to use the app across my desktop and laptop, I’ll also be checking out Portable Sunbird.

Portable Sunbird allows you to carry your calendar and task list with you on an iPod, USB thumbdrive, portable hard drive or any other portable media. You can plug it right into any Windows computer and use it just like you would on your own.

In fact, you can get portable Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, AbiWord, GAIM, NVU, and FileZilla, among others, from portableapps.com (tip from PCWord)!

This will probably be topped by the rumored Google Calendar, but it’s worth a try.
