Hello all Palm Transplants. Glad to have found this group. I have had a PalmOS phone for about 8 years. Started off with Kyocera flip pda, then Palm Treo 600, then 650, then 700, then Centro. Recently, I had to switch my service from Verizon to T-Mobile. T-Mobile doesn't support Palm. And, it seems like Android is the way of the future. So, I now have a T-Mobile G1 Android... and ***STRESSING OUT*** about converting information gathered over the last 8 years from my Palm and integrating it into the G1.

Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated...

I have over 100 Palm "memos"
Several different task lists
and the most important to me right now is my YAPS password vault
I have pretty much manually converted the contacts... what a PITA.

Also, how do I add a reminder for myself to do something that doesn't post to my calendar?

Happy Holidays!!!

Welcome aboard, Crash.

The easiest way to convert your memos is with an app called Note Everything. It will extract your memos and keep them in their various categories (but now in folders). In addition, Note Everything also does voice memos and "drawing" memos -- which is a perfect replacement for Palm's old "Notepad," which let me scrawl out quick addresses or notes to myself. It's a great app.

As far as reminders that don't appear on your calendar, I'm not certain. Note Everything MAY have an alarm function -- I don't know because I don't use it.

Keep your eyes peeled on the message boards, because there are many, many former Palm users who are always reporting replacements for old, familiar Palm programs.

I love the Droid I got, but there are things I still sadly miss about my Treo.

I was able to export my Yaps database to csv format and import it to Secrets for Android. It works great!

Hello - I'm new, after years with Palm.
I have an HTC Hero.
I am an Episcopal Priest, and we use ACS People Suite for membership data. I used to be able to export membership to Palm (would delete that category on Access, export from ACS, Import to empty category) every week or so.
Android will not read the CSV file I Export from ACS - any thoughts?
Also, I used to put audiobooks from our public Library on my Palm, using the Overdrive Media program from the Library.
I tried to install the droid version, but have not been able to download any books, nor does Overdrive "see" the books I downloaded from my computer to the sd card.
Thanks for any help.

I loved my Palm Pre(s). It was time to switch carriers and Virgin doesn't support Palm, so I went with Android. Is it just me, or is this the kindergartner's version of productivity software?

I'm appalled by the calendar & the app market. Does google not have ANY standards for what developers put out there? I found a few sites that will help me search for the apps I need to make 'droid work, so I don't have to try to search the app market directly.

How can there NOT be default appointment settings. Or categories? Is there anything better than GeminiCalendar or Jorte?

How about customizable notifications for SMS, email, missed call, etc.?

I've had Android for three days and I'm not thrilled. Hopefully I'll be able to find enough decent apps to fill in the gaps.
