Re: Centro/Palm Pilot to iPhone switch...I've got issues!

If you don't mind working on the desktop try Pimlical from your old friend CESD. If you still have any backups you can even have your old stuff with icons, to make this slightly on topic

I'd been using Palm OS devices for 10 years prior, and had 10 years of personal data stored in those things.  The combination of the phone with the PDA in the Centro was just awesome.

The thing I really, really loved about Centro/Palm OS was the integration of those 4 basic PIM categories: calendar, contacts, tasks and memos.  And that all of those categories were in ONE basic, no-frills, SIMPLE, user-friendly place on my desktop computer--easier to manage.  (Oh, how I miss Palm Desktop!)

It was simple, effective, quick, didn't need a lot of technical know-how (which I am deficient at), didn't require a lot of time (and I don't have much--I work part-time and I homeschool two very, VERY small children.)

My Google AND Yahoo *say* they are syncing with my memos, but I can't seem to get them to work to save my life.  I've tried Toodledo, Pocket Informant, the standard Memos app in iPhone...nothing is working and I'm having a hard time sitting down and re-learning some of these.  The technology and social networking is getting away from me.  I don't want to pay a monthly fee for a calendar and/or planning service (again--I'm not a big-time business exec, I'm a homeschool mom with a minivan and a budget.)  I also manage a lot of little things for my husband's small business as well, and I'm SO missing the seamless integration of tasks that Date
 bk6 and IconMgr assisted me with.
