Conduits for calendar, to-do (please, no evangelizing about Value-based Time Management(tm)), and address book exist and work nicely with Evolution. You will probably be just as well using those and saving some $$ on the proprietary Franklin garbage. I use Plucker for my web clippings. It's good experience to whip up some simple scripts and cron jobs to get Slashdot et. al. in your sync folder every morning. You might want to check this out: http://palm.freshmeat.net/ http://palm.freshmeat.net/stats/ (for most popular apps) It has a nice collection of Free Software for the Palm. Dunno what you mean about the ``office software''. If you're trying to create a handheld replacement for a laptop, get a Zaurus; nothing compares. :-) Of course, you can use what you want, but I thought I would let you know that there are Free Software alternatives that work fine (at least for me, anyway).
