Hack Turns iPod into PDA

Liquidape writes "Provue Development has released a personal info and contact manager app called iPod Organizer. The program enables use of iPod for storing and retrieving phone numbers, email addresses, flight numbers, appointment times and other data. It also comes with a sync feature. " Obviously it is fairly limited just because of the input for this device, but its quite a clever hack.

    "shaw, LAMEST Hack in history" jess, im surprised it took these guys that long to make this piece a poo software, ALL IT DOES IS MAKE MP3's with "organizer" data in their ID3 tags. im SOOOOOOOOO NOT impressed. Is this even a hack?

    i mean technicaly speaking, did they actualy DO anything SPECIAL to make this work? it seems like they just set up their own musci genre or whatever (called "ipoddata") and then split off "albums" as contacts, work or whatever, sheesh, youd think these guys were gonna get an award for cleverness, they didnt DO anything special except make a ID3 tag editor that LOOKS like a organizer.

    Next week im gonna intro the first text based trivia game for the ipod.... Will i get slashdot notice? lol

    whats worst is the ipod IS fully capable of PDA functions, that extra special little port on top (not the firewire one) canplug in a good load of extra special little things like remotes or PDA style pens, hmmmm, i think these guys arent gona be to happy when apple starts releasing their "iUpgrades"
