I had an idea as I was answering someone's post here in the Entourage group.
I thought I would post it here to see if anyone might have the time and
resources to try this. The original poster was looking for a solution to the
compatibility issues between the new Palm T3 and Entourage conduit. To
conserve on my typing I'll just past my answer/possible solution again
below:
As I have read here on the newsgroups, and also as seen here:
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/palm.html>
The problem is not limited to just the T3, but an device running the new
Palm OS with the new Palm OS applications. So if you were to purchase any
truly *new* Palm device, you will have the same problem. A way around this I
would think would be to get your hands on the old Palm applications (i.e.
The Datebook, Address Book, To-Do, and Memo apps) and install them on your
new Palm and use those until new conduits are written. Keep in mind this
solution would only work with Entourage, unless you were to get your hands
on all the old conduits as well. (maybe someone else reading this who has
the hardware and software and time to try this might let us know?)
Of course the main drawback would be that these apps would reside in your
usable memory, but a small price to pay...
I really have no idea if this would work, but it seems to me it should. The
new Palm OS is supposed to run all the old apps, and some of the new Palms
when they first came out with the new OS had the old OS apps included.
Personally, since I have a m515, I will continue to use that until I know
the new ones are fully compatible.
If it works, it would be some valuable information to add to the MVP help
page.
