I disagree- I don't want to be reminded at 12am of any of my "all-day" events, and I suspect few others do as well. By default it should remind at your configured start of day time (e.g. 8am) that day or else maybe at end of day (e.g. 5pm) the day before (so you can prepare). Then if you're some crazy freak who really does want your device beeping at midnight you could always go in and configure a specific reminder time.
This is a problem with desktop Outlook as well. Another huge gripe I have with desktop Outlook is how it handles all day events when you change time zones. If I go from say east coast to west coast and set the new time zone on my laptop (so that the clock displays the correct time), all my all day events go to being from 9pm on the previous day to 9 pm of the desired day. How hard would it be to always make all day events go from midnight to midnight? Microsoft actually provides a tool to go through and "fix" these events if you move between time zones, but this doesn't help a traveler who is only temporarily in another time zone. And this is supposed to be one of Microsoft's greatest business apps? (I don't remember if Pocket PC devices handle all day events and time zone changes properly- I know the iPhone does.)
