If you are considering moving platforms either from palm os to windows or vice versa I have compiled a list of alternative software. I myself have moved from palm os to windows mobile, mainly to take advantage of the windows mobile hardware. I hope the list below is helpful, but if you do have any questions please contact me and I will endeavour to answer you queries. I do get some very unusual questions, but to date I have answered them all. ( Gavin (at) palm247 (dot) com )
