Calendar editing

[samread]

As a committed Apple computer user and a recent buyer of iPod touch, I cannot understand Apple's thinking in making editing of calendar impossible. OK, we can sync with the computer but making new entries while away from home is still a back-of-the-envelope job. Why??????

Guess they needed to make the iPod Touch deliberately inferior to the iPhone. The iPod is stable, the iPhone is a new product for Apple.

I jailbroke my touch, installed the calendar from the iPhone and enabled editing. I now have editable calendar that syncs with my desktop-calendar :)

Yes - but a) you had to have an iPhone (which I won't have), b) you had to invalidate your touch guarantee and c) you had to know how to do it - which I don't. How much more sensible to provide the faciltity in the first place.

I believe Steve Jobs has already stated that this bug (Yea right) would be fixed in a future release.

It's probably becuase calender syncing is only supported in Leopard...which isn't out yet.

Er, no it is supported in Tiger and will remain to be so.

It's because they don't want to cannibalize sales from their upcoming 'iEnvelope' product.
