Can calender app open as your home page?

[rhino1616]

good day, i was a long time Palm user and loved the phone but i have to get with the times and get a modern phone. Im not an iphone fan so I "think" i might purchase a galaxy S3. I loved that i could configure my palms calender to appear immedately when i pushed the home button on my treo and i didnt have to navigate through the phone to launch the calendar app. Can I set up an android phone to automatically open to my calendar app when i push the home button? i loved this feature on my old palm. Thank you

You can have a calendar widget on the first screen, so when you push home it is there.

Just to elaborate, I have a calendar widget that takes up an entire home screen. Although I do not set it as my primary home screen, I can do so easily, so that it goes to that screen with the calendar widget if I press the home button.
