No Calendar Input on iPod Touch

Boo! I was disappointed to learn that the upcoming iPod Touch will have no input capabilities for the calendar function. You can still sync your calendar to your computer but all input will have to be done on your computer. This dashes my hopes for PDA type functionality. It is a shame since the technology is obviously available (on the iPhone).

You can read the full review of the iPod Touch at PC Magazine.

The bright side is that I will save my money and continue to use my hybrid method of organization, which is working well for me.

Update: You can now use the iPod Touch as PDA! This functionality has been added by Apple!

iTunes Radio

Am I the last to know that iTunes has radio? No, you can’t play it on your iPod but it plays on your computer. Open iTunes and in the left hand pane you will see a heading called “Library”, the last item under this heading is radio.

When you click on radio you get to choose from a multitude of genres like pop, classic rock, Reggae, you name it. From within each genre you select from a variety of stations.

I’ve been using iTunes so much more since I discovered radio - while I work on the computer, when I exercise, or just hanging out with the kids. There does not appear to be a genre for children but my kids will become 80’s pop converts soon enough!
