iPod Touch potentially useless as PDA

So, Engadget says no Calendar edit at all?

Wow, Apple products quite often have one stunning oversight, a glaring brainfart in a well thought out package (in the case of the iPhone, its the pricing curve).

But this, this is *special*.

However, my gut feeling is that something about the software wasn't ready for prime time and as it wasn't mission-critical, the Touch was going out anyway with the function disabled (fixable via future software update).The iPhone should have much the same software, but leaving references to the phone functionality in the Calendar app would be shoddy.

I guess in a month or three, the thing might be hackable or upgraded to the Palm/iPod replacement I wanted. Or maybe by then we'll hear something concrete on 3G. Who knows.
