Chapter 10. Using the iPod's Calendar, Contact Manager, and Other Non-Music Tools

In This Chapter

• Use your iPod like it's a $2 watch.

• Keep your appointments by placing calendar events on your iPod calendar.

• Take your contact information with you wherever you go.

• Store text gems on your iPod so you can read them at your leisure.

The iPod is all about music, but it also can do a number of other useful things that might not be obvious. These "other things" include providing an alarm clock, displaying a calendar, showing contact information, displaying text notes, and even playing games. Although none of these features alone would make the iPod great, they are nice extras, which is, I suppose, why they are located on the Extras menu.
