What's new in Palm Desktop 6.2?

Version information - precise software versions installed: Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and HotSync Manager 7.0.2.

Integrated Desktop: Single desktop and conduit compatibility across all Palm OS 3.5.x through 5.4.x devices.

Install Tool: The Install Tool, which replaces the "Palm Quick Install" tool, lets you sync .prc and .pdb files (Palm OS applications and databases) to your device.

Outlook 2007 synchronization: Allows you to use your USB sync cable to synchronize with Outlook 2007's Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes. This version includes all previously released patches such as the Outlook 2007 Update.


What's NOT in this software?

Palm Quick Install Tool: The Palm Quick Install Tool has been replaced by the Install Tool, which lets you install applications onto your device through HotSync.

VersaMail HotSync synchronization: You will not be able to synchronize email through the USB sync cable. Wireless email synchronization, including Exchange ActiveSync with Outlook, is not affected by this limitation.

Birthdays and Anniversary reminders that appear in the Calendar on your Palm device will not appear in the Calendar in the Palm Desktop application. This does not apply to manually created Calendar events; it only applies to reminders triggered from the Contacts application fields for Birthday and Anniversary on your device. These reminders will not appear in Palm Desktop, but they will be backed up on your computer when you sync, and they will be restored to your Palm device if you erase your device and then sync to retrieve data from a backup.

Color coding of events in the Calendar is no longer supported.

64-bit Editions of Windows Vista are not supported for USB synchronization. However, 64-bit Windows users may be able to sync through a Bluetooth wireless connection. After installing Palm Desktop 6.2, see: Synchronizing under 64-bit Windows Vista: Bluetooth HotSync setup.

You may need to re-install third-party applications with which you currently synchronize. Check with the third-party software's vendor for updates.
