Doing this is a great idea, while at the same time it hamstrings you as well.
The Palm is limited in the contact data fields. Off of the top of my head, I
believe that there are 6 fields that you can use anyway you want.
That means that I can have 6 Email addresses, but no phone numbers.
On the Newt, I can have 6 Email addresses, 5 phone numbers, a fax number or 2,
or 3,... or a myriad of other contact info.
No desktop system that I know of will allow you to sync the full Newton data
capability.
So if you don't mind limiting yourself, then this concept is good. Otherwise,
you may find it hard to use.
That is why I just stayed Newt centric.
