iPod Touch Tip: Jot Down Notes with Contacts App

Jepaz one of PhilMUG’s members as well as the other person I interviewed for the iPod Touch came up with this handy tip for jotting down notes with the Contacts App. Currently the iPod Touch does not have a Notes App, which is a shame coz it hinders the iPod Touch from being a PDA as well as one of the best portable media players around. Until Apple or a someone else creates a Notes App for the iPod Touch, here’s a good work around.

Thanks for the tip Jepaz.

• Create Groups in your Mac’s Address Book to separate your Notes with the actual contact listings.
• Sync with your iPod touch.
• Tap Contacts and you should be able to see the groups created. Apparently, there is no way to create the groups in the touch.
• Tap the “+” symbol to add new entry.
• Make the “First” field as the title of your note then save.
• Tap “Add Field” and flick up to see “Note” value and tap it.
• Now you can enter your notes as long as you want and save.
• For modification, just select the specific contact with a note and simply tap the note field then make your changes.
