New to palm. need software info

[jamesmedia]

I am new to palm and really want the new palm Pre but have a concern. Does palm software work with outlook for my calender and contacts. or on the mac does it work with mail or address book? I was helping my mother set up her new apple and when we installed palm software it did not look like it pulled her contacts from address book or outlook????

The Pre uses different syncing software than the old PalmOS did if I recall correctly. You shouldnt have any problem syncing it to Mac or Windows. As for your mothers Palm, you may want to check out everythingtreo.com.

Chris (the admin), posted this there:

Sure. Install Palm Desktop and go through the on-screen directions for syncing your new Treo with your Mac. Once you complete this process and have established communication, go to iSync in your Applications folder. You'll want to select "Enable Palm OS Syncing". iSync will move a few conduits in order to "take over" Contacts and Events. That's it. Initiate a HotSync and iSync will do the rest.

I have a treo which I sync with my PC - my coworker has a centro which he syncs to his Mac. Works flawlessly for both... I think you have to go in to the settings of HotSync and tell it which way you want to sync data... phone to computer or computer to phone... or both (whichever is newer)
