answer:My answer may be no help at all, but what the hell, I’ll share it. I am not a technology person. I’ve never owned a PDA or had much of a desire for one. I just got a computer made in this decade, I only have cable because it comes with my apartment, and despite being an avid photo-albumer I got my first digital camera in the past year. So keep that in mind. :) I was given an ipod touch in July. I thought it was a silly gift for someone like me… for about 24 hours. HOLY CRAP that is one amazing little device. I think the calendar is amazing- it’s easy to input things, easy to find what you’re looking for, easy to read. The notes/to-do section is great, I think, although my very up-to-date technologically boy says it could be better. I think it’s again, easy to put things into and easy to find what you’re looking for. I have no idea about outlook. I can use everything the iPod offers and it was easy to figure out, so I have to assume it’s idiot proof. So there’s my maybe useless answer. :)
