But Harry, if you have a .mac account and iDisk and want to sync with other computers, or already have an addressbook list of names and calendar with data, you need the palm to isync unless you want to retype every address into your new palm pilot individually. -- I think, if I remember correctly, that was the question asked. We, too, have one palm pilot here at home (my husband's) only hotsyncing to one computer using only the palm desktop software for that. And it works well. And I do like the palm software, too. Palm is even nice enough to correspond with you by e-mail and, for that matter, get you the right technician if you tell them their answers were of no help. But if you want to cross-sync between iCal and Apple addressbook with Palm,just having bought a new one, you need to use the isync feature of Apple and disable the hotsync feature for these two items in the palm software conduits.
