How about using the pinching gesture to zoom in from the monthly calendar to a view of two months (this month and next), to 4 months (this, last and next two), to a full year-at-a-glance view (with gradually decreasing event detail). Then use the spreading gesture to zoom back in to any month desired, then continue spreading down through the week view, then to the day view. This could become a truly "awesome" calendar app!
