Re: Last major update of Bonsai with Palm OS support

Life shouldn't be this difficult!  Seems that no company offers a really good solution!  Oh well, I used 3x5 cards for years!

Outside the house, it is very limited as there is pretty much no open wifi. It runs most iPhone apps, that do not need GPS, of phone or camera.  I have fill access to Gmail, web sites, Twitter, weather FM radio,etc. Battery life is very bad - wi fi eats it. I don't use it much for MP3  music, since I  have an iPod for that.

I could sync Gmsil from Outlook, but I dropped Outlook last year, syncing with the Palm was taking up to an hour and it routinely corrupted  by doubling appointments so I had to do a full backup before each sync
