I have Palm OS 2.5 on my Pismo and will be buying a Treo 650 soon. Will the new Palm OS be able to take all of my 2.5 info and upgrade it so that it will appear on the new Treo and my Pismo? BTW, I'm using OS 9.2 on my Pismo and OS 10.35 on my G4 MDD. -- Regards, Les ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- It should be a fairly painless upgrade. Just read through the instructions on upgrading and you should have no trouble. Basically you install the new Palm desktop that comes with your Treo and then sync your old Palm to it. Then you sync your Treo. However there a number of old Palm programs won't run on a Treo or any other Palm OS 5 handheld. The reason is the OS 5 handhelds use completely different hardware than the older Palms. The new Palms use a Intel XScale processor while the older models use Motorola DragonBall processors. Theoretically the Palm desktop is supposed to remove the problem programs and not install them on the Treo, but this doesn't always work. If it installs one of these old programs it will lock up the Treo and you will have to do a hard reset. Then you will need to go through the sync folder and remove the old programs. Most of these programs have newer versions that are 5.x compatible but if there is one that you can't live without you may want to check first. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
