Hack Turns iPod into PDA

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-clever dept.

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.

    Isn't the iPod overpriced when compared to other mp3 players/pdas of a similar or better feature set?

    Sorry, but I want the best bang for my buck and I haven't seen Apple give us that since the original iMac days, or for the first few months of the white iBook's existence. Mostly they're overpriced, underpowered, fragile, and overdesigned at the expense of the end-user.

    (Yes, I'm still pissed off that my rev-a G3 with THREE places to mount hard drives can only handle one at a time without data corruption or third-party drivers that lower the speed.)
