If anyone actually sent me a message stating “Where R U?” I would assume it was a 13-year old who had mis-sent their SMS to my number…

But you have to let them know who your attendees are before you can contact them…. doesn’t it work out to be the same effort in the end?

Or your phone/PDA with GPS could estimate how long it will take you to get to your next appointment and pop up a notification at that time no matter when you manually set the notification time. That’s letting the technology work with you and not just for you.

Why not carry it further? When you enter a new appointment the PDA could check how far the appointment is from your office and set the advance notice to an appropriate time. So no more 15 minute notices for appointments 30 minutes away.
