Pretty much the title: I'm interested in building an app that displays iCal calendar data. But cant find a direct to to do it. Am I missing something? do the changes in OS 4 make this possible? Thanks.

It's not possible in 3.* version to access calendar lib in custom app, since calendar libraries are private. But in 4.0 you can access as it's documented.

While the EventKit in iOS 4 can definitely access the built-in calendar on an iDevice, it can't read a .ics file. For that, I would recommend checking out libical, a C library for reading and extracting data out of ics files. It takes a little bit of effort to get it compiling for iPhone, but it's definitely possible.
