I use a palm t|x and like it; I wish it ran linux so the few remaining
glitches could be worked out but I can live with it as is.  I couldn't
sync over usb so do that via wireless network or infrared.  Both work
flawlessly after a certain amount of configuration hassle.  pilot-link &
the programs that depend on it  don't yet sync certain elements of the
newer (os5) databases, e.g. the birthday field in addresses.  otherwise
it's very good.  don't know whether kde apps sync better than the
evolution/pilot-link combo?  I think jpilot may.

best,
matt
