@qole: yup, exactly.

I think nowadays just about all apps/services can be found on the web, so microb may be part of 90% of the solutions on the N900. Except that it still have a few potential disadvantages compared to the apps/applets:

- Connection dependent: speed, coverage, cost; especially if you roam.
- Speed/simplicity: UI may not be handheld-optimized, login\bookmarking issues may pose significant usability problem
- Interoperability/data sharing with other apps

I don't know about the number of PIM users; but I'm seeing it being used quite heavily by more than 80% of the users around me. Especially the working-mom types. Although many of them use google as their backend (gmail, gcal), but none of them use google's web app on their handheld due to the issues mentioned above.
