Better, but still no cigar!  How about *both*?

Good and convenient, but not my ideal solution... 
  
How about being able to highlight a section of text, 
and with a right click, being able to select from a 
number of menu options to force a formatting, ie copy 
as url, or copy as address, or copy as 
event/appointment. 
  
This is what Syncplicity does, takes highlighted piece 
of text, and drops it into the Palm Desktopin the 
appropriate format, ie address, or phone number, or 
time/date.
