Wrong. This is built into the Newton OS. If you can fax, which is built in,
you can access the phone numbers in names. If you want to email an item
anywhere in the Newton, the slip accesses the email addresses in Names. This
is all part of the OS. The Palm does not natively support these things,
which is probably why Silverware said...

I think it speaks more of the inherent weaknesses of the Palm OS rather than
Silverware's abilities. I would think that if they could do it, they would.
Palm still isn't ready for me yet, although the HandEra was a bit
tempting... :-)
