[ale] [OT] Palm OS and Google Calendar

[Jim Kinney]

I agree with Jerald's take on Palm's life force. You have a better

out speaking Italian.

Jump ship and go with a different phone/pda system altogether.
Crackberry's can get an app from google

to sync and there are other toys for them as well:
