Also, I use all Macs...without PimliCal for Mac, would I be backing up to the old Palm Desktop software? Or would I end up with nowhere to back up to? Are you a programmer?

I'm a programmer. And a JB phone is not sufficient in itself. While
90% of the Pimlical (not DateBk6) is platform independent, the user
interface must be customized for each platform, as well as the
database (Pimlical uses MS Access database on Windows; it would need a
different database on each platform). So the only way you could get
Pimlical for a jailbroken iPhone would be for CESD to write a version
for the Java runtime available for JB iPhones. If he did that he could
sell it through the Cydia store (http://cydia.saurik.com/) or other
venues. Or direct.

best,
Larry
