I'm having decent luck with gnome-pilot + evolution (on a Palm Vx,
PalmOS 3.5), for a palm pilot + PIM combo. I had lousy luck on a Palm
V (Palm OSs 3.1, 3.3).
I'm working from 3 locations, so for me, the key is to set things to
"copy from pilot" initially upon arrival, and then sync'ing is no
problem. When I kept everything on "sync" at all locations, I ended
up with 3 copies of everything...
JPilot I liked for a while, but then I had evil luck with it (with the
Palm V), which is why I went with gnome pilot. kpilot worked the best
with the Palm V, but that isn't saying much.
gnome-pilot has been perfectly adequate. I like it, and it syncs well
with sitescooper (need something to do on the bus/shuttle between
offices!).
BTW, I'm running Sid/Unstable with aggressive upgrades, your mileage
may vary with Woody...
best,
