The older conduit for 2001 did support categories. Entourage allows multiple categories per item, and an unlimited number in all, while the Palm OS only allows a single category per item, and only sixteen total (for each type of data such as tasks, calendar events, memos and contacts, there can be sixteen categories; a category defined for one is not necessarily defined for any other, so theoretically you could have 64 different categories, each restricted to one type of data).
The problem has been, not with conduit limitations, but with the limitations of the Palm OS.
