I've previously written a calendar app for attorneys that was an add-on to Outlook and I recently had an idea for a new type of calendar interface. Time is continuous, so instead of a square grid, a circle would better represent time measurement. Think of the wheel in Wheel of Fortune. There is a circle with squares around the edge. Initially, there are 12 squares with each square representing one month. Inside each square is the name of the month, with the year labelled in the middle of the circle. In a touch interface, you could vertically swipe the circle and it would spin so you could select your month. If you spun it one complete circle, you would iterate the year, forward or backwards. Double-tap the month, or two finger swipe outwards, and the circle becomes the days of the month, with the day of the week and the number date inside each square, with the name of the month in the middle of the circle. Vertically swipe the circle one complete turn, and you go to the next month. Expand the circle again and you have hours of the day. Two-finger pinch to back out to a higher level. You could put a symbol or different color to denote existence of an event. If the event is double tapped, the key information appears in the center of the circle, or you could two-finger swipe the event so it took up the whole screen. In a phone size interface, you would only have to show the center of the circle, and an arc portion of the circle, say 100 degrees on the right side of the circle, like between 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock. I see that there are some round calendar apps out there, but I don't think anyone has this sort of interactivity. However, I really haven't looked at this idea too closely.
