I think I found it...
Sync Palm Desktop with an Android phone using USB cable | CompanionLink
the USB option that talks about "CL USB Sync" that has a "proprietary" calendar, task and memos and contact... not sure if I like the "proprietary" nature
Sync Palm Desktop to Google and Android-based phones like the Motorola Droid | CompanionLink
the wireless method
seems like maybe I want to go the wireless method for contacts and calendars into Gmail and then some sort of after market apps for the Task and Memos
