7. iPod as Address Book

 <  Day Day Up  >  

When the iPod music player made its debut, many a reviewer compared its pocketable shape to that of personal organizers like PalmPilots. Maybe the physical similarity put the notion in people's minds that the iPod would also make a convenient way to carry around addresses and telephone numbers . Or maybe it's because anything that can be hacked, will. In any case, it didn't take long for the iPod faithful to figure out ways to add nonmusical, life-information features to even the earliest iPods.

Apple took the hint. When it released version 1.1 of the iPod operating-system software in 2002, the company included several basic organizer functions alongside the iPod's music-management features. This chapter guides you through importing information from programs like Palm Desktop and Outlook and then looking it up when you're on the go.
