Above is my calendar for the week displayed as wallpaper on my iPhone. It’s a great reminder of the events (the next 5 are shown) I have scheduled and all the data was read in directly from my Google Calendar (which is what I use exclusively) and combined with an image of my choosing to create the wallpaper.

There are a couple things you need to know about the application before you purchase it (presently $1.99 in the App Store).

As clearly stated in the description:

- The wallpaper is not dynamic. You must generate a new wallpaper to get any updated events. This is a limitation of the iPhone development environment and not the program.

- Picking background colors can be a chore. For my illustration I found that a solid color worked best as the default text color was set to gray (I changed mine to white so I could read it more clearly).

A later update (not yet available as of this morning) allows you to position the text in the middle, center or right of the screen which will probably help with readability.

- The calendar items are pulled from your Google Calendar. If you don’t use Google for calendar items then you’ll have no use for this app.

gCalWall is a nice way to avoid having to navigate all over your iPhone just to look at what your next 5 calendar events are.

My only real request is for the developer to add some ability to use a default background color. I found that unless I used a solid color that the events sometimes blended into the background making it harder to read.
