You have never been able to add events to the calendar on an iPod, so you can't with this either.
I don't really think the click wheel is the most intuitive input device for text. Full QWERTY keyboard on the other hand is.

My guess is all these apps(and more) will soon be available for download on itunes. For some extra $ though.
i'm over it
Me too. It's (Shock-Horror) an iPod.
Saying that, it doesn't mean I don't agree they should clear it up.

Drop me a pm to let me knowBut yeah, I just want this cleared up. Replacing the tungsten & nano was the 'justification' for ordering a touch (alongside the classic already shipped). If it turns out that it is indeed slightly crippled, then I'll be in the sh*t
So cancelling it is me covering my back.
I can't agree with folks saying it makes sense because it isn't a PDA. Entering iCal events doesn't make the iPod Touch a PDA.
Agreed, let's hope Apple has some sense and adds this feature back in with a firmware update. I'm not holding my breath though.I can't agree with folks saying it makes sense because it isn't a PDA. Entering iCal events doesn't make the iPod Touch a PDA.
It doesn't make it compete with the iPhone either, the point of differentiation there is the phone, and that is a big point.
By removing input features from the Touch it removes important points of differentiation between it and the iPod Classic. When something costs more money and comes with a drastically smaller HD there needs to be more than a larger touch sensitive screen to differentiate the two.
To Apples credit or detriment they have a drawn a line between the functionality of the iphone and the ipod, you have to decide whether it fits your needs or not.
It's smart, smart marketing - something many people / corporations do not fully understand.
And if the iPhone isn't available to you, your just gonna have to except the 1 fingure salute from Apple.![]()
So, could we be seeing a different set of features across the pond? From what ive read the ability to add calendar notes is still advertised on European Apple sites.
its anti-evolution, anti-freedom, anti-technology, anti-user experience, monopoly.
No they have changed the UK/Ireland pages subsequently now too.
Apple isn't crippling the iPod touch. When have any previous generation iPods been able to directly add an event to a calendar? The answer, never. You have only been able to sync / view calendars. Granted, the new iPod has a keyboard for certain apps. But why make one iPod (touch) be able to add calendar events and the others not? No matter how sick you all might think this is, it's not. It's smart, smart marketing - something many people / corporations do not fully understand.
