discovering personal information using an electronic device;

obtaining services information related to the personal information using the electronic device; and

providing personalized content based on applying the services information to the personal information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the personal information comprises one or more of calendar information, location information, communication information, and historical information.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the calendar information comprises appointment information that comprises one or more of location, event start time, event end time, and participants.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein services information comprises one or more of weather information, traffic information, and location information.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein providing personalized content comprises providing one or more of clothing suggestions, accessory suggestions based on weather information, departure recommendations based on appointment schedules, traffic conditions, and historical travel information.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein providing personalized content comprises providing point of interest (POI) information based on appointment location.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

updating contact information based on location information and appointment location information.

8. The method of claim 5, further comprising aggregating multiple event information for providing updated calendaring timing information.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the multiple event information comprises length of time that each of the multiple events consumes.

10. The method of claim of claim 1, further comprising:

notifying the electronic device with one or more reminders based on updated travel time, wherein a reminder comprises a notification for modifying future appointment time schedule based on updated traffic information and estimated travel time.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

automatically providing local maps and points of interest (POI) information based on travel plans.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

creating a dynamic address book based on the POI information.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

enabling temporary sharing of location data for locating contacts.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

using favorite local POI information for applying to an appointment location for finding similar POI information in the appointment location.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

analyzing communication information and appointment location for determining POI suggestions and providing the suggested POI information on a map; and

tracking user behavior for obtaining the historical information, wherein the historical information comprises one or more of travel time between locations, driving habits, and appointment punctuality.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device comprises a wireless mobile communication device.

17. An electronic device, comprising:

an alarm manager module that discovers personal information using an electronic device;

a communication module that obtains services information related to the personal information using the electronic device; and

a first graphical user interface that provides personalized content based on the services information.

18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the personal information comprises one or more of calendar information, location information, communication information and historical information, and wherein the calendar information comprises appointment information including one or more of location, event start time, event end time and participants, and wherein services information comprises one or more of weather information, traffic information and location information.

19. The electronic device of claim 18, wherein the personalized content comprises one or more of clothing suggestions, and accessory suggestions based on weather information, departure recommendations based on one or more of appointment schedules, traffic conditions, weather conditions and historical travel information.

20. The electronic device of claim 18, wherein the personalized content comprises point of interest (POI) information based on appointment location.

21. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the alarm manager module updates contact information based on location information and appointment location information, and aggregates multiple event information for providing updated calendaring timing information to a calendar application of the electronic device,

wherein the multiple event information comprises length of time that each of the multiple events consumes.

22. The electronic device of claim 17, further comprising:

a notification module that provides one or more reminders based on updated travel time, wherein a reminder comprises a notification for modifying future appointment time schedule based on updated traffic information and estimated travel time.

23. The electronic device of claim 22, further comprising an event manager module that automatically provides local maps and points of interest (POI) information based on travel plans, creates a dynamic address book based on the POI information, enables temporary sharing of location data for locating contacts, uses favorite local POI information for applying to an appointment location for finding similar POI information in the appointment location, analyzes communication information and appointment location for determining POI suggestions and providing the suggested POI information on a map, and tracks user behavior for obtaining the historical information, wherein the historical information comprises one or more of travel time between locations, driving habits, and appointment punctuality.
