So I reformatted my iPod 60 GB to Windows format so I can synchronize my Outlook contacts and calendar into the iPod... cool feature! But it's got a couple of glaring problems:
1. For each e-mail address in an Outlook contact, you get a separate iPod contact. This means my Dad shows up three times (one for work, one for home, one for his wife's e-mail address which is stored in his contact). This is not very cool. There should be ONE iPod contact for each Outlook contact.
2. Calendar synchronization has a MAJOR problem... namely, it synchs your ENTIRE Calendar, as far back as it goes. That's dumb, because I only really want to know what's coming up and what happened recently. ActiveSync has an option to synchronize just future appointments and recent appointments; iTunes needs to do this, as well. My iPod now has Calendar items in it stretching back to 1998, and it means synching takes a LONG time to complete.
