If you have access to Outlook and have Pocket Mirror still available for your Palm, then using your Palm to synch data into Outlook using Pocket Mirror is probably the easiest route. You could then use HTC Synch to copy the data to your phone. If you don't use categories in your calendar entries then you could use this route to keep your Palm Desktop in synch with the Hero on a regular basis, using Outlook at a "go-between". The Hero does not support categories in the Calendar.
You can also export data from Palm Desktop as a CSV file but you would probably need to do some tweaking of the data and you may still need to use Outlook as a half way point.
You can export contacts in the Palm Desktop as vCards and import them into the Hero contacts database (I think there is an application in the market which will help - search for vCard). This does not help with the calendar.
You could use CompanionLink to export calendar and contacts into Google Calendar / gmail and from there to your phone. CompanionLink is quite expensive, so might be a bit much for a one-off transfer.
I am sure you will get some other ideas from people.
