I  find  it  handy  to  have  the  little notepad right there within the
program  for various annotations -- handier than swapping out to another
program.  I  also have it configured to send out some birthday greetings
automatically, just in case I forget -- but that's about it. I don't use
it too heavily.

I'd  be  bothered if TB became a fully-bl[own/oated] PIM like Outlook --
however,  I  donn't mind the presence of SmartBat. It's small enough and
discrete  enough  that  should a user not wish to use it, it won't be in
the way pestering them.

Wouldn't be surprised if they headed that way..they've got a great address book,
email client, notepad and scheduler..what next? and they've certainly got the
smarts to produce a good PIM.

I wonder if this'll start a whole new slew of "YES!"s and "NOOO!"s :)

Cheers,

Hi,
I havent really messed with this feature and was curious about how
others are using, if they are using it. Seems like a nice feature, but
in my opinion ritlabs should keep their concentration on other
features of TB instead of something like this. Isnt this what a PIM is
for?
Thanks
