One of the biggest drawbacks to having a PalmPilot is that every appointment has to be painstakingly entered, even if it's only of tangential interest. This results in only the critical appointments being entered. The appointment harvester eliminates this problem by locating events from various sources, including central databases, and adding them to your calendar on a low-priority basis. This would be useful if it downloaded the IAP schedule because you could, if you're bored, look for an event starting soon and attend it. It could also do things like display events scheduled for a particular location, and do so on a context-sensitive basis so you can view all the events associated with the room you've just entered, or with the person you're talking to.
