I'm a long, long-time Palm user myself (not Palm Pre, just the old-school PDA Palms like the old Palm Pilot and the Palm Tungsten E and most recently the Palm T/X) -- at one time, I had a collection of old Palms in a drawer, along with some Sharp Wizards (man, I loved those ol' Wizards!)
The more I read about options for migrating my Palm data into GMail in order to get ready to sync up with the Android phone I'm getting (the new Motorola Droid!), the more I've concluded that for a guy like me, who is NOT tech-savvy, the most prudent course is for me to just reenter all my contacts afresh, into GMail.
Some of the methods I've read about to try and convert Palm contact and calendar into into GMail are, to me, the equivalent of having to figure out how to rewire my home's electric circuitry, whereas I'm the kinda guy who can barely figure out how to change a lightbulb!
And I'm be damned if I'm gonna first convert stuff into Outlook. I've lived this long and gone this far without EVER using MS Outlook and I sure don't want to start now!
Actually, reentering the contact info isn't so bad. For one thing, I'm sure that as I start, I'll find many contacts that I no longer really need, and I can just whittle away at my list and start afresh with the ones that are more active. That still will involve a lot of typing, but it's do-able.
As to entries in my Palm calendar, I don't see any pressing need to import the last 5 years of my calendar into Google Calendar -- I'll just start afresh with Google Calendar entries effective November 6 (Droid day).
