The windows version of PalmPilot is now at Pilot Desktop 3.0. It is written with mac software: (CodeWarrior Development tools). The palm pilots have a plug-in translator (called conduit) that connects Pilot data with data back on the host computer. Dozens of Windows programs can take advantage of conduits to send data to and from the PalmPilot. Now for the Mac side: 3Com bought the orphaned Claris organizer and turned it into the new standard for the Palm Pilot for the Mac: palm Organizer desktop.More: The program with the most connection potential is probably Eudora planner, Qualcomms integrated and redesigned follow up to NowContact and Nowup to Date. IMHO this soon won't be just a cult thing anymore: Instead of carrying around a laptop it makes so much more sense just to connect with a handheld device. This is clearly the future. Meanwhile you can d/l novels into your palmpilot and read while on an airplane. I got most of the above information from Macworld, i'm doing some research of my own, since I'd like to buy a Palmpilot - and have been thinking for a while: the company who makes this pilot definitely is worth looking into - plampilot might be still a side endeavour for COMS now, but it can get big, if they play it right..
