		<description>Thank you, Albert R!  Your method is clear, direct, and WORKS PERFECTLY.  And it&#039;s free. I just copied over 500 PALM addresses to Google.</description>

		<description>I successfully migrated all my memos and contacts to B-Folders. It imports the CSV files exported by Palm Desktop and no need to go through Google.</description>

		<description>I used to love my Palm -- guess we all did. Hung onto that last Palm 
Treo until it froze so much I just couldn&#039;t stand it. Took me almost 
two years to find a way to get my data onto a contemporary system. 
Finally did it! Google is the answer, people. I can&#039;t recommend which 
&quot;smartphone&quot; is the best one to use to sync with Google, but there 
are more and more of them out there. The point is that Google&#039;s Gmail 
system has enough flexibility to handle all the &quot;extra&quot; fields that 
former Palm users have in our data -- like multiple mobile tel no&#039;s 
for a contact, etc. I haven&#039;t found anything else.



Whatever you do, don&#039;t get a Blackberry and don&#039;t try WinMobile. 
You  risk losing lots of data because there just aren&#039;t enough fields 
to handle everything. You have to get  your data over to Gmail. Just 
set up a free Gmail account. It wasn&#039;t easy to find the applications 
to get my data from Palm to Gmail because most of the app&#039;s leave 
some data fields out. I am happy to share the info that I finally 
nailed it. You just have to buy a couple of inexpensive programs, but 
it&#039;s well worth it. Here&#039;s what to do:



First, tranfer your data out of the Palm Desktop into Outlook using 
the Chapura PocketCopy Software. Look, I am not suggesting actually 
using Outlook.  (Outlook hides many fields, like that 2nd mobile tel 
no for a contact, into obscure locations where it&#039;s very hard to 
find. Yuck.) Outlook is just a conduit for getting your data onto 
Google. Read on.



To transfer all your data (contacts, calendar, notes, and tasks) 
including all fields from Palm Desktop go here:



http://www.chapura.com/pocketcopy.php



Then, back up all your data for safekeeping from Outlook into PST 
files. You have to do that separately for each of Contacts, Calendar, 
Notes, and Tasks. Just go to File, Export, etc.



Now, here&#039;s the gold -- The one and only program that I have found 
which will actually copy 100 percent of all your Contacts, Calendar, 
and Notes fields from Outlook onto Google&#039;s Gmail is Gsyncit. (V-cards do NOT transfer all the fields BTW. But Gsyncit does.) Works great. You can get it  here:



http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/index.shtml



Just read through all the Settings in Gsyncit very carefully. (You 
can even use it to periodically back up all your data from Google 
onto Outlook, which is way more convenient than  those awkward CSV or Excel
files.) Here are some settings that I highly recommend in Gsync for 
your initial upload to Gmail, and then it works like a charm:



CONTACTS:
-Check Automatically continue synchronizing on failure (in case your 
internet goes down)
-Check to sync everything -- and especially User Defined Fields at 
the very end of the list
-Uncheck &quot;allow contacts to be deleted&quot;
-Uncheck &quot;removing duplicates when syncing&quot; (Trust me -- you can 
merge duplicates in Gmail after uploading.)
Read the other options and do what you want, but I strongly advise the above.



CALENDAR:
Read the Settings options and do what you want, but here&#039;s a taste of 
what I did and I was happy:
-Check Automatically continue synchronizing on failure (in case your 
internet goes down)
-Check to sync or not what you want - read carefully
-Uncheck &quot;allow events to be deleted&quot;
-Uncheck &quot;removing duplicates when syncing&quot;



NOTES/Memos:
You can upload by Category (hooray!!!) to Google Docs using GSyncit. 
There are detailed instructions on the GSyncit support page. I did it 
and was very delighted. I have almost 500 Memos from my Palm Treo 
which are all organized by category and I was very concerned about this.



TASKS:
Apparently, Google has made it impossible for any developer to get 
access in any way to upload into their Tasks system on our Google 
Gmail accounts, despite the fact that people have been asking for 
over a year. GSyncit has a way of uploading to a separate calendar, 
but it&#039;s not ideal because you lose your categories from Palm. I&#039;m 
about to try a separate app called GTasks, but I don&#039;t know if it 
works or not -- I don&#039;t think that the GTasks app works with Google - 
I think it&#039;s maybe a standalone. So, if you don&#039;t have a lot of 
tasks, and you want everything on Google, the GSyncit workaround 
might work for you.</description>

		<description>I exported my Palm contacts as Google contacts using a lot less steps:  From the contacts in Palm desktop (I have version 6.2.2) I did a Select All (control A), then selected Edit, Forward as Vcard and saved the vcf file somewhere.  Then I went to gmail contacts and selected Import, then clicked chose file and selected the location of the vcf file.  After a few minutes it was done and I could see all the Palm contacts in Google.</description>

		<description>Here is what I did for the calendar in Palm:
use yahoo&#039;s autosync software - which is a desktop software and integrated with PalmDesktop
very nicely upload my Palm calendar into my yahoo mail calendar
then, I export it as for outlook/cvs and import to google calendar easily
I have not test the contact there, since I already manually solved issue :-(, which should work, I guess</description>
