The present invention adds a new category of contacts and tasks to hand-held
devices. This new category provides a list of the most recent contacts or tasks
that the user has accessed. Under most embodiments, the contacts and tasks shown
in the RECENT list may be manipulated by the user in the same manner in which contacts
and tasks are manipulated in other lists on the hand-held device. Thus, the user
is shown the actual contacts or tasks entries and not just a link to those entries.
Under most embodiments, the user is able to display a list of recent contacts and
tasks by accessing a "RECENT" entry in a categories list provided on many hand-held devices.
