The registration process appeared to be DOS-based - ugh. As far as
capturing visitor information, we just had people beam us their cards,
which worked for about 85% of booth visitors.
Needless to say this approach won't be as useful at conferences other
than Palm developer conferences.
As an aside, a surprising number of people didn't know that if you have
designated a business card, you just need to hold down the "Phone" button
without even turning the unit on to beam the card. We earned a few
brownie points by teaching people that trick.
