When I got my Palm TX, I didn’t realize that the Palm Desktop software wasn’t completely compatible with Windows Vista. For example, I can’t install new palm apps via hot syncing. Here are some alternative install paths:<\/p>\n
1. Attach the pdb files to an email, and send it to myself. Use VersaMail to retrieve the message, and install the pdb attachments.
\n1. Use the web browser to download and install a pdb file.
\n1. Have someone beam it using the IR interface.
\n1. Have someone send it using bluetooth.
\n1. Install from an SD card. I haven’t verified that this works.<\/p>\n
While I’m at it, it seems like configuring Linux to hotsync with Palm devices can be a pain. As an alternative, I think I’ll get an SD card and use [nvbackup](http:\/\/handypalmstuff.sourceforge.net\/) to backup to SD, and then copy the backup from SD to my Linux box and use it with JPilot.<\/p>\n
There’s more than one way to do things, especially for a Palm equipped with built-in WiFi, bluetooth and an SD expansion card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
