Well people I can only agree and wrote Apple about the “can’t edit the information sync to it situation”, the answer (yes, I really got an answer), this product is not a PDA ! an now the question is “Why Not !”. Did Apple agree with some other firm that produces PDAs not to include this feature ? Or maybe they feel it will cut into the iPhone sales ? Or maybe they just don’t understand that we don’t want a cell phone device in our iPod. I don’t know about others, but it’s not the extra cost that keeps me from wanting an iPhone. Cell Phones Users are treated, sometimes, more aggressively than Smokers and I travel through many of the places where prople are confronted with these situations. For example Airplanes and public transportation, Hospitals and Wellness facilities, Fitness Studios and Learning Centers to mention just a few. That’s why I don’t want a Cell Phone in my PDA and I don’t want to carry two devices to accomplish these tasks. End of iPod (Game).

Ok folks….. JAILBREAK… set you ipod touch free. Add appointments in calender. Add 3rd party apps before February. Change themes…. it’s the greatest thing for the ipod touch and don’t worry more apps will be out soon. I check everyday for new updates. The potential for the ipod touch is outstanding all we need now are developers to write the apps… like oh I don’t know a fully functional mail app… that support exchange. Oh and maybe FLAHS LITE 3…. oh we can hope and pray.

I really want the ipod touch, however i am extremely upset with apple. they had the oppertunity to make this new ipod a great device by putting all of the great iphone apps onto it…but they didnt. they have the calender on it, but you cannot enter new appointment or edit appointments on it. you have to sync it with your ical or outlook on a pc. they could have made the ipod touch a PDA too, but they didnt. the reason they took all of the functionality out of it is because apple makes a ton of money ooff of the monthly contracts people have with their iphones through AT&T. so if people had to make a choice between the iphone and the ipod touch they would choose the ipod and then just use a regular phone and not have to pay the overpriced at&t fees. so they made the ipod touch a very very crippled version of the iphone. i am hoping that in a few months apple will get the idea and come out with a software update for the ipod touch. it’s really a shame they had to go and do that just to make more money. I think that they are actualky amking a bad decision by turning so many people away form the ipod touch who need some type of PDA device and the ipod touch could have been perfect for them. I mena they even took ou the notes application on it!!! They are giving you a keyboard but nowhere to write any little notes…come on

I’m curious about iCal which has been out for a while and could do with an update but
Peter Beddows said ‘It turns out Apple crippled the iCal function of the iPhone when they released the iPod Touch. Deal’s off for me.’
I would say the same but what does that mean exactly and if it has been ‘crippled’ surely there’s a surgeon out there who could reapir it.
Final thought, what’s Apple’s motive in crippling a usefull application I mean are they nuts or something? Or is that just built in obsolecence?
