Where are all the basic business capabilities?

What a disappointment! I spent an hour at the ATTWS store. I was completely sold on iPhone - user interface, display elegance etc, etc, etc.
Then I realized it makes no sense at all as a business tool:
1 - There is no To Do list,
2 - There are no categories of groups for the contact list (even though there are in Address Book on the mac)
3 - There are no categories or separate calendars in the calendar (even though there are in iCal on the mac).
As a Palm Treo user, these are absolutely essential features. What else am I missing after only an hour with the iPhone and a sales person?
Does anyone know if there any plan to make this device a meaningful business tool with all the basic applications, or is it just a really expensive toy? After working with the device for an hour, it was hard to put down, but how could I move from Treo without even the basic capabilities covered?

New here.
Hi Everyone, I am test driving the iphone and ATT (former VZW) Not sure if I will like the phone or the network. I have been trolling this site for a while to learn as much as possible before taking the plunge.
To answer most everyone's concerns: What was the preeminent MP3 player before the ipod? Oh, there really wasn't one. What cell phone had a great MP3 player, video player, camera, address book, Full HTML browser, mapping feature, Cool UI, Sleek and award winning design, etc before the iphone? Oh, there really wasn't one.
As a company I think Apple is visionary and they fly solo, you don't like it, then it is not for you. Maybe they made a conscious decision to leave out MMS because they really think wi-fi and email through the phone will catch on faster than we think.
I don't know for sure, but my guess is the iphone just like any other device has its good and bad, so far, I see more good than bad, but I have only had it a few days. I am more concerned with ATT and less concerned with the iphone.

  • Where are all the plug-ins?

    Hi
    There seem to be quite a few very experienced InDesign SDK programmers that hang around the forum.  Which leads me to my question, where are all the plug-ins you guys have been creating. Looking around, there only seems to be about 50 commercially available plug-ins, so where are the rest of them. Do companies hire programmers for in-house plug-ins is that not overkill.
    Besides all this, I understand that nobody (including myself) would want to give away secrets about what type of project they are involved in currently, but maybe some of the guys here could tell us who they worked for in the past, how long involved with InDesign SDK, and what type of plug-in they've created.
    I realize in this forum, its basically professionals and not just hobbyists, making it harder sometimes to get replies, but maybe some of you will share a little something in this faceless screen-named  avatar world.

    Hi Steven
    Many plug-ins are distributed as a part of bigger systems, i.e. CMS.  Maybe thats why you've heard only about 50 commercial plugins.

  • TS3147 Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2?  I can't find Normal, just Draft and Best.

    Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2??  I only have Fast, Fast B & W, and Best.  I want Normal so that it looks good but doesn't print so slowly.  Help.

    Hi,
    Change the print settings manually by clicking the lowest drop-down within the print dialog (e.g. the application name, Copies & Pages within MSOffice.
    Select Type/Quality and set the print quality as Normal.
    You may seve the settings as a Preset from the Presets drop-down menu.

  • Where are all the Apps Stored?

    Where are all the apps I have purchased from the app store stored, on my PC? They do not appear in the Itunes folder where all the TV programs and music are.

    They are in a subfolder named Mobile Applications. It will be a subfolder wherever you are running your itunes library database ITL file from.
    On XP, the default path for that is
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    (this is where the default ITL file is stored)
    So your apps would be in this folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications

  • Where are all the movies?

    Where are all the movies to rent? The lineup is horrendous. I keep hoping that one day there will be a ton of content. So far it’s severely limited. I thought a bunch of movie studios signed up for this.

    I'm with you I am a Si Fi junkie and the SiFi channel is not even on their list of stations, but the main flux is there are a whole bunch of really great shows that I would love to see. I figure Apple is charging a premium for TV and Movie content, why than is the Apple offerings so small, I would think it would be to there interest to offer a huge library as its maturing you would think they would be more fulfilling in supply. I love they way I can watch shows and don't have to fast forward through them, But am missing a whole lot of shows that could be offered. Must be a big process for them to put there restrictions of use making it harder and a longer process to add content, Come on Apple give Apple TV more resources, before the competition matures and people are renting from other sources.I really enjoy the Apple TV quality and ease of use, but there will be a time when PC comes out with an easer and as good of quality UI with a larger library. So where is all the content?

  • Where are all the downloadable free/shareware games?

    There were tons of games, freeware, shareware as well as those that cost money. They could be downloaded from the Apple site. Now when I go to the download section and choose 'games' I go to the Apple store and see exactly 42 games to choose from, none of which are free/shareware. So where are all the games?

    I don't know about those devs. Seems to me like Apple is less concerned with niceties for the Apple community these days and dumped the free downloadable games 'cause they are more interested in making more money. Oh well. Thanks Dahveed.

  • Where are all the Develop Presets located?

    In the Develop Preset folder (Vista: C:\Users\Howie\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets) there are only a few presets listed instead of all the creative and sharpening presets as seen in the Quick Develop "saved preset" drop down. Where are all the other presets located?
    Note: my goal is to look at each creative preset to see just what settings are being applied.

    Don - that is not what he is asking.
    Howie - I have no idea where they are stored on Windows - from a quick exploration I guess they are in the Application .exe file. On the Mac you can get into this, but I'm not sure you can on a PC
    However the simplest thing to do is Apply a Preset and Note what is does in the Develop Module. That will be what the Preset is trying to do.
    Alternatively Apply the Preset and Create a New Preset with a Different Name, it will have the same settings.

  • Where are all the buttons?

    Dear abode users,
    I'm new to the Adobe CC series, but I have used CS5. I'm trying to make a game with flash, like I did with CS5, but where are all the buttons for Flash. An example: the buttons when your are working with AS3, like the correct all your code button that it looks nice (button).
    Is there a way to set it to the old style or something?
    Casper

    Hi,
    You are probably referring to the auto formatting buttons! They are not a part of Flash CC as of now but will be available soon in the forthcoming major update.

  • Where are all the older posts?

    Sorry to put a non-interesting post up here, but where are
    all the old posts. I am looking for the post in regards to saving
    computation time with passing byte arrays back and forth between AS
    and C. This was in a previous post, but I notice that posts have a
    short shelf life here. Am I missing something???

    Yes, this is particularly frustrating. Google still indexes
    old posts so doing a search there may turn up a few results.
    As for passing byte arrays, I think this is probably the
    thread you're looking for:
