The answer is touched on in the article, but to be blunt: - Pocket Genealogist if you have (or want) Windows Mobile - GenStar Pro if you have (or want) Palm OS After that, there are lots of features and factors, e.g. - Size and format of screen, etc, of the smartphone - Pocket allows update/syncing of device; GenStar does not. - etc.

Does anyone in the group have experience with Pocket Genealogist or GedStar Pro? I have a Palm ES2, but I am contemplating the purchase of a new cellphone with the thought of reducing my "gadgets" so that I just have one mobile device. Is there anyone on the group using either one of these programs on a cellphone? If so, which one, and how well does it work with Legacy? I would like to be able to carry my information with me and be able to easily sync with my desktop computer when I return home. I understand that Pocket Genealogist may be the best, but I'm restricted to AT&T as my carrier, but I'm not so sure about the quality of the Windows mobile based cellphones. Or - would it be better for me to keep my Legacy on GedStar Pro on my Palm and have a separate cellphone? I hope this will be considered on topic, since my whole purpose is being able to carry Legacy with me in the field. Any advice?
