Why would Apple not fully enable iCal on the iPhone?

[Worcester, Daniel]Daniel Worcester - 05:38am Mar 2, 2008 PST

My wife and I wrote a few weeks ago about our frustration with Apple's iCal features on the iTouch and iPhone. We have 6 calendars that work fantastically on our home and work iMacs, but we are confused looking at the amazing limited version of iCal for iPhone. Can anyone explain to us the limitations Apple was facing that forced them to opt for a version of iCal where you can't make appointments on your different iCal calendars (or view them, for that matter) on the go? Why would anyone using Mac syncing of their iCal calendars even consider the iPhone and iTouch??? We won't be able to get either until this is fixed. Thanks for your comments!

Re: Why would Apple not fully enable iCal on the iPhone?

Possibly a growing pain from the older iPods having a display calendar that syncs, and the iPhone & iTouch having a fully blown app. Perhaps SyncServices, or Apple Marketing, or product positioning was not sure where the line in the sand should go!

I agree the iPhone needs to be fully fledged to match desktop.
