Desktop To Go frees you from the clunky Palm desktop application
by making it easy to share data between your Palm organizer and
any of several desktop information managers running under
Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT.
With support for Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0 and 7.5, and Microsoft
Outlook 97, 98, and 2000, this product smoothly synchronizes
contact information, to-do list items, notes, and other
information between hand-held and desktop computers.
DataViz
says this product will work with all Palm OS device units,
including the new Palm VII and HandSpring Visor devices. I used
this product to synchronize Schedule+ 7.0 data between a Windows
95 computer and a Palm III and found that it worked very well in
both directions.
When
you set up Desktop To Go (at installation time or later), a
neatly organized interface allows you to establish rules about
how data is transferred. You can choose to have data from your
desktop application transferred to your Palm or vice
versa.
You also can specify that the two databases be synchronized;
this means that you can enter data on your Palm and in your
desktop application between HotSyncs, then have the software
merge the two databases at HotSync time so all the data appears
simultaneously in both environments.
You
can also specify how collisions are handled. An example of a
collision might be when you've entered updated contact
information for the same person on both your Palm and your
desktop application the same day. With the instructions you
enter initially, Desktop to Go will do what you've programmed it
to.
Once
you've configured these rules, Desktop To Go does its work with
near-transparency. Palm users can HotSync just like they
normally would, with the only difference being that some Desktop
to Go status boxes pop up during the process (and do not require
attention). --David Wall
