Johnny about the Calendar and Contacts, OSX already comes with very nice apps for Personal information management. I find both iCal and Address book to work well with VoiceOver, and easy to use at that. I believe the Database program people have referred to is called Bento, and I've heard it works well with VO as well. There is also Filemaker Pro, but I don't know if it works well with VO or not, but it's quite a bit more complex than Bento, and is not as user friendly from what I hear.
