A LOT OF WORK needs to be done on PalmOS integration. As I've posted
before, it has been impossible for me to continue using a PDA after
switching to Evo -- there are workarounds, but they are not feasible for
day-to-day use. I'm on the pilot-link and gnome-pilot lists, traffic is
very low and mostly composed of it-doesn't-work messages.

effort redirected.
