Re: Two issues with Contacts in Pimlical v1.3.14

I can't answer that because I'm new to Pimlical - but what are you using 
for a PDA? Reason I ask is I have installed Pimlical and it does not 
seem to read contacts from Google - which is a bummer because I'm 
currently on a HPalm Pre and will soon be on an HTC Evo. I've been 
watching with bated breath the Datebk forecast for Android, but on the 
desktop ...
     Currently, I use Thunderbird on the desktop, with a gContactsync 
handling the contact database.
