New featrures on the notifications page following the new update

Have an Android phone with Android 4.0.3 or higher installed? If so, you can take advantage of a new update to the Google Calendar app that makes things a little easier. Directly from the notification screen, you can make a phone call, or look up the location to an event if a reminder includes an address.

If you are in the month view on the calendar, you can long press on a time and date to enter an event. Google will fill in some of the blanks based on past history. The update is in the Google Play Store and is free, just waiting for you to install it. It is not an earth shattering update, but it does make life a little easier for Android users.
