In previous versions of iSync was also responsible for updating address book and calendar data on the iPod. However, since these data on the iPod can not be changed and it is so is not a sync, but simply a copy operation, this function from iSync 2.3 and iTunes 6 was shifted to the iTunes program. Thus, the data on the iPod can be updated separately, without at the same time to update all other devices.
