There was a swell little program I used to use on my Palm TX called Slap. It worked kind of like you are talking about. You could quickly note anything, and then later move the note to the appropriate Palm program. There were icons along the right side of the screen for the calendar, address book, task list, and memos; you highlighted the note, hit the icon and the note was moved with the correct formatting for where it was was moved. Something like this for the WebOS would be wonderful!
The program, Slap, was developed by Hands High Software in 2000-04. Mark -- Sent from my Palm Pre Don Ferguson wrote: Hmmmmmmmmmmm, well, BOTH! :-) There was a book (Becker?) about Palm-based productivity that posited that one should always capture stuff in the Palm memo pad, which would sync back to the PC. Then, daily, process that information (by cut and paste) into the right place (calendar, address book, task, etc.). The idea is to make capturing information quick and allow processing later. That could work on the Pre, if we ever get a Memo/Notes app that syncs with something (dare I say Outlook?) on the PC. I suppose right now one could have a persistent named Task that could serve that purpose. As long as the user is using Outlook (or eventually Google Apps or Gmail) tasks, it would quickly get back to the PC for further use. OR, you could have a more general "quick add to" button in US that subsequently allowed you to choose email, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes. Type the text, tap, tap and the text is in the right place!! OK, I guess I'm weird, too. . .

That led me to another idea: adding a "quick email" to webOS universal search (US) menu. Imagine being able to specify an email address in US. You type in something and, below the list of search engine buttons, is a "quick email" button, which will send whatever you typed to the email address you specified with some form of descriptive Subject. Is that something anyone would use, or am I weird? Don't say "both." :-) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
