Re: Thinking about data management

As an addition I would suggest an email library. This should:

+ encode a given file base64
+ do immediate/deferred delivery
(most of this does already exist w/ emailsync)

i.e. for having a button in sketchbook to easily mail a drawing. The
same for an image viewer and the voice-recorder. So to speak
one-click-to-mailaway (tm) ;-)

What I don't understand is the "contact library->usqld->sqlite": besides
that it is really cool to have a complete database server on the iPAQ,
isn't it just twice wrapping the sqlite library?

It adds two more abstraction layers, plus a single point of failure,
makes it more difficult to trace a bug - so why not just keeping it
simple and stupid? I don't see the necessity for this on a device like
the iPAQ?

Greetings
