When the iPod comprehend appeared. I must say that it did be good but after reading a story by Gizmodo it doesn't be good any more!
Gizmodo's bind "Apple iPod comprehend schedule Can't "Add" Appointments: Why and What's Else is Being Crippled?" absolutely caught my attention. In their bind they indicated that Apple has removed the ability to add events in the iPod comprehend's calendar. That's alter you can't add appointments! Why would you even buy the device?
Gizmodo has a bring together of screen shots showing where Apple has removed the words "entering schedule events" from its US features page. You get to see the before and after and then you have to start to query.. about Apple.
I can fully understand Apple removing the CSR Bluetooth chip to alter the iPod comprehend cheaper than the iPhone. It's a cost-saving decide and they owe to their shareholders to save money and change magnitude profits. But taking a line of code out of a schedule to make some people buy the iPhone is a dodgy and surprising move by Apple. It may be normal for Redmond but certainly not for Cupertino. As with shareholders they also owe their customers some consider.
And yes it's Apple's choice and they can do whatever they be as a company. However these practices are quite different from what Apple has been doing in the past with all their products including Mac OS X vs Mac OS X Server. Segmentation is fine but having a phone and advance and SMS and Bluetooth built in in the iPhone is enough feature differentiation to justify the current $100 price gap. Why check a simple conjoin of software and assay customer alienation?

Dunno.. maybe if you wanted it as a media player? I accept it sucks that they are disabling features in the comprehend that actually costs them work and money to do so and alienates the customers further. But the homebrew scene will regenerate this functionality and more don't worry. I hope. I ordain act for the first homebrews to come out.
Who cares? I certainly don't. I am using the 100 endeavor ascribe to choose up a 16gb touch. I ordain be a great replacement to 4gen iPod which I only use in the car anyways. When I am home I can surf using the Touch instead of lugging the laptop around. schedule appointments? That's what I have a WM device for.

Since you displace multiple devices this may not be an air to you but for those users who only displace one device (or maybe two - a cell phone and a multimedia device) this could be a problem. Seems rather shortsighted to me. Why have a contacts application at all on a device if it is not possible to fully use it? Either delete the application altogether or make the application fully functional julie

While I agree with you about either enabling or deleting the application you must bequeath that change surface the 4g iPod and earlier had contacts and calendar information. I bet you can count on two hands then be of populate that actually used it. No this is not a big deal most populate ordain buy this device for multimedia aspects and the added features just bunco of the iPhone. I disbelieve very highly the PIM application of this device ordain be missed. Anyways like Homebrew mentioned someone ordain sight a way to open the functionality. Perhaps it will be Apple just desire they act to unlock iPhone hidden treasures.

I think it's important to remember that the comprehend is not meant to be used a PIM device nor a PDA. It's a media player pure and simple. The iPhone is their first foray in to the arena of devices with multiple functions and they don't want to assay multiple product lines on their first go into this lay. Needless to day however the "dev" community will most likely act a workaround rather quickly to the crippled functionality. It's just a matter of time.
