As far as megan’s question- again, since I have not used the program in some time, i cannot really provide any support for it, and this is not really a support forum unfortunately.

You might try a Nokia user’s forum- if they don’t know about the Goo, they might have other options for ya.

I’m trying to find a way to:
1) sync my work email/contacs/calendar (at my job we have ActiveSync for that)
2) sync my private mail (Google Apps) – I don’t knwo what tool to use, maybe GooSync?
on the same phone (Nokia N95) but of course I’d like to keep them seperate..

Thanks for the reminder of some background programs- I shoulda remembered pTunes and some of the alarm programs.

Also, Palm OS does allow background operations – but it isn’t as seemless as other full OS options. PTunes, Audible, Realplayer all operate in the background, as do many of the email PUSH programs for Palm OS.

I’m sorry you are having problems, but the program I reviewed here, the freeware version, does not do contacts, so could not have done this. It is a little unfair of you to blast THIS program when it is a different program causing your headaches.

I will point out that in the past, when my contacts have had problems syncing in one program or another, it was because my contacts database was corrupted or used in a non-traditional way. If memory serves, the guy who made the wonderful Palm program Datebk also offered a database cleaner that might help, and I believe that there is a cleaner built into the Palm desktop as well. Have you tried either of those?

This company is a joke and their product is CRAP!!! I’m just going to get an Android phone and stop dealing with crappy Palm programs. I love Palm when it works but when it doesn’t you need a degree in C# and a case of Jolt cause nothing fixes easy in Palm.

Thanks!

That is all.

The Pre looks cool, as do many other options. I also find myself getting more and more jealous of my daughter’s iPhone and the number of apps that are growing for it.

My firm attachment to Palm has eroded with the Centro. Compared to my old TX, I rarely watch movies, write anything, play games, listen to the music, etc. I’ve never bothered hooking up a larger keyboard or my GPS, rarely surf the web, and have a whole file of games and apps I have not even bothered to install. Part of this I think is the small screen on the Centro- it is just not as fun to use as the big screen toys are.

Until recently, whenever I have thought about ‘jumping ship’, one thing that held me back was the investment I had in Palm software. The other day I noticed that I had not updated most of my programs in over a year, and only have 5 non-games apps I have paid for (or would have if they had not been free for whatever reason), including a screenshot program for these reviews. 3 of the programs can be easily replaced with free software on my Mini netbook, which basically means that this argument is pretty much null and void.

Considering that most of the mainstream Palm software and hardware sites are shifting to other revenue streams, i get the feeling that I am not alone in my thinking.

I am curious, Mark – with the Centro being your main cell (?), do you plan on upgrading at all to a Pre, whether it be with Sprint, or, if you are with ATT, the rumored centro/BB look-alike, thats been popping up in photos here and there?
