1. A method comprising:
- automatically transferring time sensitive data from a first storage of a first processor-based system to a second storage of a second processor-based system when it is determined that the first processor-based system is being powered off, wherein the second processor-based system is located in a housing of the first processor-based system;
automatically displaying said time sensitive data on a display of said second processor-based system at a predetermined time; and
powering said second processor-based system using a power source of said first processor-based system when said first processor-based system is powered off.

Abstract
A system enables personal information manager (PIM) applications to continue to provide alerts and other time sensitive information even when the system upon which the PIM is stored is turned off. Automatically data may be transferred from a first processor-based system to a second processor-based system to implement time sensitive activities. The second processor-based system may provide a user notification at a predetermined time preset on the first processor-based system.

3. A processor-based system comprising:
-
a processor; a first storage to store a personal information manager application; a second storage to store software including instructions that cause the processor to automatically transfer time sensitive data to a second processor-based device for display of said time sensitive data at a predetermined time, said automatic transfer to occur in response to an indication that said processor-based system is to be powered off; and a link on said system to said second processor-based device, wherein said processor-based system is a portable computer that includes said second processor-based device, wherein said second processor-based device is to be powered on when said processor-based system is to be powered off. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)
