Yes the conduits are there ..... But useless to E X users and any other app you need to sync with your Palm (except for Palm Desktop). I have started using Paul's Sync X to Palm scripts and while this is a workaround they do work! It's really very painless. If you follow the instructions I think you will be very pleased. I'm sure this took a lot of work, and I do appreciate it.
