Manage Conference Schedules on an Android Device with Giraffe

Productivity Sauce

When my good buddy and lead DokuWiki developer Andreas Gohr started posting links to Android development resources on Twitter, I had a suspicion that he was up to something. It turned out I was right. Recently, Andreas released his first Android application called Giraffe.

It is a simple yet genuinely useful app -- especially if you attend conferences and events, and you need to keep tabs on their schedules. If the conference or event provides its schedule in the iCal format, you can use Giraffe to pull the calendar data and present them in a readable format. Better yet, you can use Giraffe to star the desired entries and view the current items. That's pretty much all Giraffe does, but if you frequent conferences, barcamps, and other events, you may find Giraffe quite handy.
