Developing an Effective Smartphone User Interface

Chandler: The return of Lotus Agenda. One of the hottest topics this past week has been the formation of Mitch Kapor's OSAF and its big project, Chandler, a kind of souped-up do-everything PIM. 

If you type "Call Bob and tell him to send the proposal notes by Friday," Agenda is clever enough to read this sentence and assign this item to the categories: phone calls, proposal, even Friday. When you ask the computer what you have to do Friday, it will remind you to call Bob and insist that you ask him about the proposal.

 [The Yoz Grahame Burgundy Explosion]

This project sounds really interesting. I've been trying to recreate this feature using ActiveWords Outlook agent. I may have to toss a donation in the mail.  I'd love to the the PIM market jump started.
