I am getting a palm pilot 5 quite soon and am naturally interested in
maximizing my use by synching and moving data around with linux.  In
the interests of fostering discussion and perhaps hearing from someone
who has done this, I would be quite interested in any users who may
have used pilot-link, pilotmanager, ical, or any of the other pilot
capable programs.  I plan on using the pilot on my laptop primarily so
I dont have to carry that 10 pounder wherever I go :)

What I would like:

* a central application to read and write addressbooks, calendars, todo
lists (ical seems close overall since pilot-link can write ical files)

* a tool to manage synching such as what pilotmanager does.  Anybody
using pilotmanager out there?  How about gnome pilot? Kpilot?  I have
installed and used kpilot and its slick.  It does synching through a
conduit assignment and also integrates with korganizer.  Ideally, I
would like one program to do it all.  With my windowsce device, outlook
does it all.  I must admit to it doing it quite well too.

* finally I would like an idea about how functional the various
applications are.  I have to prepare our office for moving to pilots
first at the VP level. Needless to say we all use linux.  Primarily
redhatted ones, caldera ones, and an ever growing population of SuSE.

I appreciate comments, urls... Anything you can think of that will help
me.  I dont particularly want to standardize on kpilot/korganizer.  WE
have had stability issues with kpilot not running under kde.  Many of
our senior staff do not wish to run kde whatsoever.  Their desktop of
choice is a windowmaker desktop with fancy themes and gtk applications
running or whatever.
