I just downloaded Xobni today, and the word is getting around our office quickly. Very nice tool.
I am a sales guy with a territory that spans 30+ countries and I think this will come in very handy.
Here's an idea:
Have the Xobni contact manager scrape the City and/or Zip Code of the contact a user has displayed. Use that to load up a widget that shows me the current local time there, and even the current weather (good conversation piece). To get accurate time adjusted for daylight savings all over the world, I'm always having to open my browser to check http://www.worldtimeserver.com . It would be nice to have that integrated into Outlook via Xobni, so I'd know when to call and when not to.
Perhaps a mapping link would be cool, though I'm sure you've got to be conservative about how much real estate you want to take up with features like this.
