I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing here, but the
brand identity disc is available for free as well. The guidelines.pdf
file on the CD contains a ton of examples.

Alan:
IMO It's a bunch of grammatical tomfoolery to appease the legal
beagles who are ostensibly protecting Palm's trademark. (Maybe I'm
being a little cynical, but reading through that style document will
make a cynic out of anyone.)
Try: "Use HotSync(R) technology to send the records to your Palm
Computing(R) platform device."
Or: "Send the records to your Palm V(TM), Palm IIIx(TM), Palm
III(TM) or PalmPilot connected organizer using HotSync(R) technology."

The best one is Graffiti. (wrong!) Instead, use Graffiti(R) power
writing software. (right) ;)
