I've already imported the data from Palm Desktop. I'm one of the Office
users who side-graded his PIM functions from Palm Desktop to Entourage who
doesn't own a Palm yet, and who is now facing a convoluted headache if and
when I purchase a Palm. If I can actually synch with the virtual Palm then I
can work on cleaning up my categories now. Of course there is still the
issue of having to create all custom categories on the Palm to avoid
duplication.
I just wish it were more seamless and worked without all the convoluted
work-arounds. I really like Entourage and would like to have all this data
available to me in a hand-held device. But as it stands I'm more inclined to
put off any purchase of Palm-compatible devices until Entourage is updated
to handle this issues better.
