Version: Palm Desktop 6.2
"In hindsight, would not have replaced with 6.2."
Pros: Ability to specify criteria for synching, e.g., device overrides desktop or vice versa. But I only needed to use this feature because of synching problems that I ran into with the new version.
Cons: Post upgrading, could not sync my calendar. Also lost all datebook listings going bact to 2003. After synching my address book, it didn't read renamed categories properly. This version loses color coded dates, and is not as stable as old version.
Summary: My expectation for upgraded software is that it should be more stable and have some added features that would enhance its functionality. For me, uh uh. I was never able to fully synch my calendar; it kept on freezing during the process. I then no... read more >>

Version: Palm Desktop 6.2
Pros: It fixed one bug. V4.2 refused to let me set a task with no due date, instead filling in a due date of 12/31/2031. This made it hard to organize tasks the way I want.

Version: Palm Desktop 6.2
"Need it for Vista...otherwise stay away"
Pros: The only positive about this version is that it supports Windows Vista. That's it
Cons: no-Vista systems: you can't control the colors of your interface, it 'hangs' a lot, it lost the categories I set up in Desktop, HotSync Manager won't let you control whether the Desktop or Device controls the data, very slow, less intuitive.
Summary: After 2 weeks, I went back to v4. Unless you are running Vista on your computer, stay away from this version. It has less functionality, less stability, no UI customization and is a memory hog
