If you can check out the company that makes the operating system that the
iPod uses, you will see that they have the PIM functions built into the OS.
It's more a matter of implementing them. I guess the OS can be used in
several different applications--cell phones, for instance. It isn't so much
a PDA as it is an information access-type of device. In other words, you
don't put info in, but read it out.
