My 2 cents...

I thought about creating something similar (and have to a certain degree)
using EuGrid.  What I would like to see:

1. Ability to have a small block for each day with smaller colored blocks
showing appointments, etc.  Much like the desktop app that comes with a 
Palm pilot.
2. Ability to switch between a week or month view.
3. Ability to set the background color for a specific day.
4. Tooltip that shows appointment detail when hovering over a day.
5. Ability to select a from/to date.

Is that too much to ask?
