Does anyone know if this is possible? I really don't want to have to type it all out again. I want to transfer all the information on my Palm m100 to a more modern device such as my ipod touch.

It has 8MB of memory (highest), it works on replaceable AAA batteries - goes for weeks and weeks without any need for recharging (also avoiding problems with built-in Li-ion batteries - which of course don't last forever), monochromatic screen (consumes less power, perfectly visible in broad daylight), it's a whole unit (no SD cards, no antennae (but has IR port)) etc. The perfect Palm PDA.

As for your Palm - maybe some particle is stuck between the plastic and the LCD, look around the rim of the display... @Mibars

I found two fixing apps DigiFix and DigiE (not to mention my palm in a bottom drawer :) ) but they didn't help. Maybe just a little... It's funny that if I draw vertical line in memo pad it is really vertical, while horizontal lines are all in waves... I cannot understand what's in fact the problem - This device has only RAM memory, so after hard reset it should forget about calibration settings... Or is it hardware problem related with touch screen that causes screen to send signals in wrong rows? Hi, thanks for answer.

So much so that there were special apps that you could download that would save your calibration. Try googling Palm calibration app or something like that. @Mibars If I remember correctly this was a common problem with Palm devices.

I have m100 that I got as a present like 10 years ago, but I haven't used it much in past due to some problem with screen calibration. I don't know if it is screen failure or it is soo miscalibrated so I cannot calibrate it... When I start it after reset there is a calibration screen where I have to touch 3 points. After few resets (say batterry discharged, etc) I've noticed that around middle of screen I draw either too high or too low than I point my stylus. So I did calibration few times and it only got worse - So bad that when I mark middle point it does not accept it thinking that I missed... It was just after about one year of part time usage... After that I had major problems powering it back on due to almost impossible to pass "calibration" and every time I manage to pass it it only gets worse. Is it common problem and how to fix this?

You sync with your computer using the desktop application that can be downloaded for free through Palm's website: http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/m-series/m125/unlocked/downloads/page_en.html You can find all kinds of free programs to install by googling Palm apps or Palm Freeware.
