The ~7GB that you see when connected via USB is actually a separate FAT32 partition, apart from the partitions used by the device itself for the OS and internal storage. The contacts, calendar, memos, etc. aren't on this "media" partition that's exposed via USB. Personally, my hope is that someone will come up with an app to easily copy the internal OS data *to* the "media" partition, which we could then offload to a PC via USB.
