    So I am a big time sports fan. Yahoo has a pretty sports features. I get the alerts for scores and things like that. Anyway, I just went to their site, and they have the entire team schedule in an ics file so you can add it to your iPhone.

    It sure would be nice if there was some way to import that into my Windows Mobile Outlook.

    I don't use Outlook on my computer. I would love to have this go directly into my phone with no need for Outlook on the computer (just like it would if I owned an iPhone).

    Check it out here if you want:
    http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/teams/uuc/schedule
    or (click on "Add to Calendar" near the top right)
    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/uth/schedule

    If Microsoft doesn't have a standard way to send Pocket Outlook calendar info, they really need it. And if they do, but nobody is using it (or even if just Yahoo isn't using it), they need to have a way to import ics files directly to my phone.

    Not sure how that would help me though. I am not trying to integrate with Google calendar. I've never even used Google Calendar. I'm trying to import an ics file from yahoo...

    You had said before:

    Because they use an ICS file which we can't use with Outlook on your device, the program I referenced will "combine multiple Calendars on your Today page with the ability to enable/disable them at any time". 

    Using that program would allow you to view the season schedule easily on your device's Today screen.  It sure looked like a viable solution to me.

    This might be worth looking at.  It integrates with Google calendar.

    I have the same request.  I often receive calender invites and can't get them onto my mobile phone until I 1) open the meeting invite on my home PC in Outlook and then 2) Sync my mobile phone with my PC.

    I would love to have the ability to open the .ics file directly onto my phone and have it update my calender.

    Thanks.
