Address books in different places, yes, but you can use the same
source for all or most of them, and make changes in only one or a
couple of places instead of all of them.

Let's say you need an address book based in your email client to make
emailing easier. I don't think that should be necessary, but, unless
you're using MS Outlook or Lotus Notes, it seems to be the case.
Whether you need a separate AB in you newsreader is up to you, but if
you really do, then perhaps you should use a combined email/newsreader
client. Rumor says that ver. 2 of TB! will have a newsreader plug-in,
but I have no info on that. In any event, I can't see why you would
need wholly separate address books for your PC, Palm, and phone. I'm
only going by my own experience here, but my PC-based PIM will
synchronize to my Palm and also my phone (although I don't use the
phone sync myself). So you only need to record changes in one database
if you copy that db to TB! and sync it to your devices, or two
databases if you keep TB!'s AB separate.
