          Appeal No. 2004-1443                                                        
          Application No. 09/559,695                                                  


          and a recently accessed label that represents a list of recently            
          accessed entries from the database.  A particular feature of the            
          invention is that displayed entries from the recently accessed              
          category are capable of being manipulated by the user in the same           
          manner as entries that are displayed when the user selects the              
          all categories label.                                                       
          Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                            
               1.    A method of generating a user interface in a hand-held           
               computing device, the method comprising:                               
                    displaying a list of category labels, each label                  
                         representing a collection of database entries, at            
                         least one of the category labels being a recently            
                         accessed label that represents a list of recently            
                         accessed entries, and at least one other category            
                         label being an all categories label that                     
                         represents a full list of all entries in the                 
                         database;                                                    
                    receiving an indication that a user has selected the              
                    recently accessed label;                                          
                    displaying the list of recently accessed entries such             
                         that the entries are capable of being manipulated            
                         by the user in the same manner as entries that are           
                         displayed when the user selects the all categories           
                         label.
