1. A method for generating time-dependent events based on proximity-dependent events in a calendar application of a portable electronic device, said method comprising:

  • providing a proximity-dependent event generated using said calendar application, said proximity-dependent event including a name field and a subject field;

    detecting at the portable electronic device that the portable electronic device is in proximity to a second portable electronic device associated with the name field;

    prompting a user to select a type of time-dependent event that said proximity-dependent event is to be converted into;

    opening a new time-dependent event having said type of time-dependent event, said new time-dependent event being separate from said proximity-dependent event; and

    copying said name field and said subject field from said proximity-dependent event into corresponding fields in said new time-dependent event;

    wherein said proximity-dependent event is deleted following population of said corresponding fields in said new time-dependent event.
