Hope for Touchers: the Calendar thing is just a bug?

| 11 Comments | No TrackBacks
One of the bigge r issues in the release of the iPod Touch is the inability to manually add entries to the Calendar app on the iPod itself. C urrent users are forced to just do everything on the Mac's iCal application and just sync up with their iPods. We wonder why this PDA function has been removed (probably because the iPod is not meant to be a PDA - new multi-touch Newtons, anyone?) but why'd they let people tweak Contacts directly on it anyway? Fo r that matter, why even add wifi to the iPod? Just so people can surf to the iTunes Wifi Store and buy songs and make more money for Apple? In that case, why add Safari to the mix? An ex clusive direct connection to the IWS would've made more sense. Well, at least there's hope for iPod Touch owners who want their Calendar apps full-featured. Steve Jobs has a habit of sometimes answering users' email directly (or has his elves do it), and hoping for a Jobsian reply MacRumors member David J. Early from Scotland wrote to Steve-O recently to ask (among other things) why Apple has emasculated Calendar. Steve wrote back and said, "The inability to edit or add Calendar events is a bug that will be fixed in a future release." Hmm. Jobs also said in his terse reply that iTunes Games - as they are now - will ne ver show up on the Touch, and totally ignored Early's other questions. Full text of the email exchange here.
