Because 1) that requires having the addressbook application up and running (or 
starting it, which might well take 5 seconds) and 2) is a terrible waste of 
resources opening a gui application for something where no gui is required.

Point 1) was one of the most annyoing things to me when syncing a palm with 
KPilot in the past.
