Google Calendar is a Web-based calendar application with a strong emphasis on collaboration and sharing. The ease with which a calendar can be shared makes it an ideal application for a business environment -- colleagues can give you access to their calendars with just a few mouse clicks. Once a calendar is shared, adding that calendar to your iPhone is a simple matter of adjusting the iPhone sync settings for your Google Calendar account.
Step 1
Certify that your colleague has shared his calendar to your Google account. You can add another person's calendar to your iPhone only if that calendar is shared to your account.
