...I was never
a big fan
of PalmOS, TBH. Too limited for me as a former Psion user, and the
Palm devices were always very tied to a PC -- they were meant to be a
way to take your Outlook (or whatever) address book and diary with you
in your pocket.
Interesting view of Palm usage that I hadn't considered.
I didn't use Outlook or a desktop PC PIM at
all.
Nor did I. When I carried a Palm Pilot every day, I was using UNIX
'mail' for work e-mail and did all local edits of my calendar on the
Palm. I did backup my Palm Pilot, to my Linux Laptop (I still have
backups files from 1999 in an archive folder).
Not sure if this counts as "connected" but I used Palm Desktop itself for
my personal scheduling. I never used my Palms (an m505 and a Zire 72) for
E-mail, though. It did mostly note-taking, calendar and pharmacy work, and
some programming (in Plua).
