Treo to iPod, part three

OK, Yahoo! can read Palm contacts and calendar files, and iPods can synch with the Yahoo! contacts system. So one new Yahoo! account later, my contacts are now copied onto my iPod, although, wow, what a step backwards.

I’ve got hundreds of contacts, and having no way of putting them in sub-folders so that I can just look through my personal or work contacts is pretty bad. Hopefully Apple will patch in some improvements, since this would be especially galling if I were using an iPhone.

In the meantime, I still can’t input entries into the iPod touch calendar via the iPod itself, and iTunes won’t synch with Yahoo!. Instead, it’s looking for some other calendar application (when the natural thing to do with both the calendar and contacts would be to pull it directly from the Palm directory for my Treo). Hopefully this will be addressed in a patch, because as it stands, the calendar function is worse than useless on my iPod.
