I am sure Chris is much more tuned in to this so I look forward to his response.

Thanks Steve---since I am sort of an analog guy in a digital world this question / concern might be silly BUT would I still be able to merely sync the new device to my Palm Desktop to load it up. I have been using the same one since the original Kyocera and merely updated the Palm desktop software maybe once.
