Um, the pictures and descriptions seem out of synch. Intentional?

There's already an application (can't remember the name) that has location-based notifications. It's a to-do list of some sort. Don't know if it works or how it would manage to do that if it's not running in the background. I like the idea of that though - being able to specify areas or activities where communication is limited, notification options change automatically.. it would be very useful. Then again there are so many other, more simple things that Apple could do already that would make the iPhone more useful. For instance, why doesn't the iPhone already tell me when it's someone's birthday? Am I missing something? What's the point of having a birthday field in the contact if it doesn't have the option to notify me days in advance? And why is there still no support for .ics calendar invites?

"I'm sorry honey, I'm seeing an Argentinian. Please pack up my office and tell the state to screw themselves."

Hrm... That could have saved a lot of hassle. I'll take two, please.
