I'm debating 2 ways of updating a Palm database based on a file downloaded
over the Internet. One way would be a conduit, and another would be from
within the Palm app itself. I'll also be checking the app's registration
code and the HotSync user name, since I don't want that behavior if it's
not registered. Each one has their pros and cons, but I can do it either
way...
Conduit - Updated everytime the user syncs up (good but also bad
thing, since I'll need to reset the current category on
the Palm device in this case)
- More difficult to get at registration code than from
within the Palm app
Palm app - Database updated on demand
- Easy to get at registration code and user name to check
- Waste of battery life to update list (only a guess here)
Any ideas on which would be the better way to go? Thanks.
