PalmOS speaks iCalendar natively these days? Or are you using some
utility to get the appointment from your Palm to your Linux box?

Anyway, RFC 2445 is ambiguous on this point. One of the Evo developers
posed this question on the ietf-calendar list a year and a half ago
(http://www.imc.org/ietf-calendar/mail-archive/msg02194.html) and there
was slight consensus in favor of the inclusive DTEND interpretation, so
that's what Evo uses. (It's also what Outlook uses.)
