Abstract
An association between an identifier and the portable electronic device is established. An event database, for example, an event database maintained at a desktop or other computer, is searched to identify an event entry having a participant field value corresponding to the identifier associated with the portable electronic device. Data of the identified event entry is electronically transmitted to the portable electronic device, which may create an event entry in its event database responsive to the transmitted data. The participant field value may include, for example, a value of an attendee field and/or an organizer field. For example, the participant field value may be a uniform resource locator (URL).
