It appears that you can only sync calendars and contacts when on a Mac. I did not see these options on the Windows version of iTunes 4.8.
Oh well, no biggie. I am about to switch anyway, so I wouldn't want to sync anything to the iPod right now anyway.

um.... haven't I been syncing my iPod with addressbook and ical all along ???
so they've just moved the functionality from isync to itunes ??

Yeah it would just be better to make it a little add-on to iTunes or iCal.
So where's...CD-TEXT and no SKIPPING between songs. Oh well I suppose that can wait until iTunes 5, next year. :/

Can you use iTunes to sync contacts and calendars to phones? Or is it just iPod?
