Most of the Palm users I knew, myself included, used their Palm largely 
stand alone.  Almost all of us backed up (synced) our device to our 
computers as a backup in case of device corruption.  Some of us did use 
Palm Desktop as a convenient interface (PIM) to what was on our palms. 
But the Palm was largely stand alone.

I did know a few people that synced with Outlook (and other things).

The person that introduced me to Palms and I did play with network based 
syncing and had it working reliably at work.

I found myself, along with a few other Palm users, using Graffiti on 
paper, because it was faster than traditional letters.
