Gary, In a nutshell:
Gedstar - Works on the Palm OS and is only READ ONLY. There was chatter a long time ago that the company was not even thinking of making it sync with Legacy. Pocket Genealogist - Works on the Windows CE / Windows Mobile platforms and can be read only or it can be setup to sync with your database. I have a Garmin IQ 3600 (Palm OS 4.01) and a Garmin M5 (Windows Mobile 2003). The 3600 I have had for about 2 years and I purchased Gedstar Plus. I received my M5 last Thursday and Saturday I purchased the Pocket Genealogist. I have transferred my database to the devise, but haven't had an opportunity to sync it with my Legacy file yet. My FDB file contains about 36,800 individuals. It takes up about 26+ MB of space with the options I selected. With my Gedstar, the database took up about 8.5 MB. I didn't transfer as much data.

The model looking like it comes closest to fitting my budget/needs is Palm Tungsten E2 retailing at around $180, with 32mb of memory. A $60 keyboard is an add-on option also being considered. My Legacy file contains about 1,800 names with a sizeable picture library. I'm more than a little confused between "Pocket Genealogist Advanced" and "Gedstar Pro" and their compatibility with Legacy 6.0. What is the difference between the two? I would welcome any advice regarding which program would be best to go with (your opinion on the choice of PDA is welcome too).
