I had an idea for a diary api which could be built in to Pandora's firmware and accessed by games/applications. The idea being that you could schedule events within games, for which the pandora could auto-wakeup and, if avaliable, start the application.
Example:
You are playing a MMO game, racing game, or whatever against an opponent. When in dialogue with another player you arrange to meet up at a specific time. The game then asks if you'd like to set a reminder in your diary.
The diary note is saved to a diary file on the internal NAND, with (for example) the following compulsory and optional fields:

- Application ID
- Application Location (last known location)
- Event Date
- Event Time
- Wake Up on Event (Y/N)
- Run Application?
- Sound Alarm (Y/N)
- Remind Before (Y/N)
- Remind Date
- Remind Time
- Reminder Text
- Additional Info
- Power-up and remind you to run the game at the specified time
- Power-up and remind you about the event an hour before hand
- Power-up and load the game (if present on current SD card), passing the event into the game for it to show its own reminders, or take any other action necessary
