Google Calendar gets "labs" section, Gmail Tasks graduates from labs

Google is fleshing out its personal information management offerings. First, the company announce that Gmail Tasks has graduated from Gmail labs and is now available to every Gmail user whether they want the feature or not. And now Google has also added an experimental "labs" feature to Google Calendar.

At launch, there are just 6 experimental features for Google Calendar users. You can:

1. Add a background image
2. Attach Google Docs to a calendar appointment
3. Display a World Clock
4. Jump to a date int he past or future using a drop-down menu
5. See when your next meeting is
6. Show which of your contacts with shared calendars are free or busy right now
   

More features are reportedly on the way.

Keep in mind, these are experimental features, which means that Google may change or remove some of the options in the future. But some may eventually graduate to full fledged Google Calendar features.
