iCal Taks Coming To iPhone?

imageThe mobile version of iCal hasn’t had the greatest start from a non working App at Macworld to a watered down version on the iPod Touch, it lacked many things that made the desktop version of iCal rock. A recent dissection by Erica Sadun shows that Apple may be prepping Task syncing to the iPhone.

A piece of code found in the latest Firmware update points toward possible Task support on the iPhone.

ATE TABLE Task (ROWID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, summary TEXT, priority INTEGER, due_date INTEGER, completion_date INTEGER, calendar_id INTEGER);.

Its inconclusive whether or not this will be actually implemented and as we’ve reported before, possible features or Apps aren’t implemented right away just because code on the iPhone says different.

  1. Appointments are my bread and butter, and one thing that convinced me to spring for an iPhone was the promise that its calendar app worked “just like iCal on the Mac.” Well, it doesn’t, and that turned out to be a big disappointment.

    What I need is to be able to type in the first few letters of a contact, and have it retrieve the name from Contacts (just as iCal does from Address Book). I also need more options for repeating appointments (like those we have in iCal).

    Until then, the iPhone calendar app is really hobbled for me. I can write everything down, transfer the info to iCal, and then synch that with my iPhone calendar. But that’s a looong ways off from living up to Apple’s original promise.

  2. P.S. Fine with the tasks (or “taks”). But I need the other stuff more.
