Finally! It took a little longer than expected but sending items (appointments, contact infos, tasks, etc.) has been improved and better integrated with the messaging module.

You’ll now notice a “Send” panel on each module (tasks, calendar, contacts and notes) that displays groups you are a member of and their members. Sending something is as easy as dragging and dropping it over the person’s name! The message will show up directly in their picoBeat’s inbox and can be added to their own data with a single click. You can also send a regular email to anyone by dragging and dropping your items on “email”. (in this case they’ll be sent as attachment in a standard format: iCalendar, vCard, etc.)

There are a number of improvements planned for this feature, most notably a shortcut list of favorite contacts and emails for improved usability.
