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.

    Did you like Slashdot better without the out-of-place ads, or perhaps with no ads at all? Now you can get it for free and save yourself $5 a month. This is truly a great testament to the spirit of hacking! Check this out!

    I for one, think its great that Slashdot is using what I consider to be a well-thought-out ad program. I applaud the efforts of the fine people running this site, and in spite of what a lot of negative people have to say about it, I actually think it improves the site, giving it a professional look and feel that it sorely needed.

    Thank you.

    off topic posts suck. The new ads aren't up yet.

    to keep this on topic, iPod is neat. Although I wouldn't attempt to use it as a pda considering it's tiny lcd.

  8. WTF! by gmm · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Can someone please explain exactly what the FUCK that thing is at the top of this page (the thing that looks suspiciously like an advert)?

    I do not believe it !!! /. has sold out . I see they're now using that fucking Mac 'interlaced' white background behind the subject logos and lovely 'aquaesque' graphics as well (in the 'post comment' arrea at present, but sure to spread), how fucking original!

    This is the last straw. I've had enough of all the crapflooders and, so-called, 'trolls' (they haven't got a fucking clue what a real troll is, they think that posting a goatse.cx link qualifies them as a troll - gimme a break!). And now I have to look at fucking adverts as well??? Well, fuck that, I'm logging out for the last time...

    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.)
