You can specify default entries for your home and work addresses so you don't need to keep reentering zipcodes, and InfoBeam has a History list for each item so you can look at past searches without having to run the search again.  Some of the search tools are very useful, like the package tracking for UPS, FedEx, and Airborne Express.  Others are limited by maximum character lengths.  When I tried to get the scores for Major League Baseball, only the first 5-6 teams were listed before it was cut off.

I also had this problem when getting directions from one place to another.  I found out that there was a 500 character limit on the SkyTel account that I was given.  It is possible to remove this limitation; however, it would have been much better if InfoBeam messages were split up so I could receive the entire message.  This limitation is on the service provider's (SkyTel's) side.

The interface is rather clunky also.  Once you've read a message, you have to remember which tool you searched with to see its History.  Some search items like Weather and Forecast are very similar, and it's easy to forget which one you used to perform a search.  It would have been much better if all results were saved in one location where you can look at the history for all searches, not just the selected search tool.  I was hoping for something better in InfoBeam, but it's little more than a light version of the PQAs found in the Palm VII.
