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.
