Palm Desktop for Windows

User Reviews

• It really works!

  Kaylina BurchMarch 22, 2016

  Pros

  I am amazed that this actually works. I love old technology. I will be using this. I installed this for a Palm Tungsten t2. So far so good. I am about to start installing apps for it now.

  Cons

  None so far.

  Summary

  Yes it's obsolete. Yes you can do all of this stuff on your cellphone. But It's cool and I'm going to use it.

• Still ticking

  TryumphApril 11, 2014

  Pros

  For anybody still using their Palm (I use it to play dull games on airplanes to help me sleep -- seriously), this software still makes it possible to download stuff and transfer it to the Palm (in my case, a IIIc). It's still tricky to install and clunky as ever, but considering the options, who's complaining? Contrary to a previous review, it DOES work with Windows 7 (at least my 64-bit version).

  Cons

  Palm, we hardly knew ye.

  Summary

  Last gasp of support for an obsolete product. I suggest you download and save the installer and any related software in case Palm goes bye-bye for good.

  carconb1July 24, 2013

  Con doesn't work on my computers

  Summary

• Previous Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4 is Better

  Johnstone59May 25, 2013

  Pros

  Works well on all versions of Windows 7.

  Cons

  There is no color coding your calendar categories like there is on Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4.

  Summary

  I ran this Palm Desktop v. 6.2 on my Windows 7 Home Premium laptop for awhile, but I never liked it as well as v. 4.1.4 because this version does not allow for color coding the calendar categories. The old version 4.1.4 will not run on Win 7 Hm Premium, but I discovered 4.1.4 will run just fine on Win 7 Ultimate, so I upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate. You can find a free upgrade to Win 7 Ultimate on the internet that passes the Windows Genuine Copy test just fine.

• Very good upgrade to my original

  mare1936March 15, 2012

  Pros

  This program downloaded and installed seamlessly. The upgrade is not particularly noticeable, although it runs well and has a few new perks.

  Cons

  The hotsync is not operable with this version either since I have a 64 bit system. My biggest complaint with this is that although my Palm z22 was not a year old when I got Vista, I could not use it on that version of windows. I had to use it with my daughter's XP. Then she went to windows 7 and I could use it there. I got a new computer and it is a 64 bit system. And now her's is too. Since my palm works fine and has so much data stored on it I can't seem to get it to sync with anything. So My grandson gave me an old laptop with 32 bit but "slow as molasses In January" and I use it there. I know these computer companies like "planned obsolescence" but it tee's me off. And since I am on social security I can't afford to replace something that works I'll have to settle for that. I downloaded on that and all works fine. Thanks for listening to my complaint. Maybe you can talk someone into creating a driver for 64bit systems. You's make a lot of palm owners happy.

  Summary

  It's good if you have 32 bit systems.

• No Improvement to Original Palm Desktop

  Bounzer67May 6, 2011

  Pros

  Absolutely none.

  Cons

  This software is incompatible with some software that I already run on my Palm. It generates errors while synchronizing.

  Summary

  All-in-all it was absolutely NOT an improvement to the original software that came with my Palm.I had to remove it and reinstall my original Palm software.
