Several years ago my boss and friend gave me a Palm III for a present. I had a Psion series 5 already, so it sat in the box for a few years until the psion bit the dust (the infamous flex-cable failure that they all seem to get), at which point I moved most of my data (well, addresses anyway) over to the palm and started using it. It's really not a bad device for browsing info that you've entered into the PC, but I still think that Grafitti just sucks even after using it for almost a year.
In any case, I like (and use) the GNU/Linux operating system so I've been trying to figure out a good scheme for maintaining contact info on GNU/Linux and the palm.

| In the end it seemed that coldsync suited my style the best. It's a simple command-line tool which does what you tell it to do. I tried a few tools (jpilot, coldsync) and when I dropped my palm and lost all of the data only coldsync could restore it, so I guess it's pretty reliable as well. | ||||||||
