iPhone and PALM software

[ESH]

Will the iPhone be able to read my TREO address book?

Only if you sync it out to another compatible address book on your PC (and not the Palm Desktop) and then sync it to the iPhone.

I heard a rumor that it would sync directly, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

That would be a pleasant surprise, but I doubt it.

compatibility of palm software

That would be a pleasant surprise, but I doubt it.

will the phone be able to run the same applications that usually run on the Palm OS system? I have applications that are only Palm OS or Pocket PC compatible. Anyone heard anything?

If you have a Mac computer and Missing Sync for Palm it will.

Not so sure about direct sync either

I have been a holdout but finally purchased an iPhone yesterday. It's very Apple and very cool but I do miss a couple of Palm features.

I really miss the "find" button that is part of Palm devices and is similar to the "Spotlight" button on the new Mac. Is there a like application for the iPhone?

I also categorize my palm "memos" in groups like music, computer, books, etc. My synchronization did not import Palm memos and I can't see that iPhone notes can be organized in groups.

If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it.

Thanks

If you jailbreak a 1.1.2 phone you can do that with finder.
