The "assist" function.

Seriously.

Calendar and basic office functions at this stage of all developments should pretty much be defacto standard. That whole 'this is not a PDA' angle I keep hearing to me seems like a cop out. Hey, we even have KDE running on these units now and OS2008 is really a full featured OS. There are no limitations, only excuses.
That crap's been running on Zaurus organizers since the early nineties. Google "Newton" and "assist" and you'll know what a real PDA is supposed to do.
