Palm has a colourful past: first there was only Palm Inc, it's been a
part of US Robotics and 3Com, and has at times split its
hardware/software parts into Handspring, PalmOne, and Access, and then
re-merged in various configurations.

Access, as it is today, is the company that makes the "Palm OS". More
specifically, Palm devices run "Garnet" and there's a more modern
linux-based OS called the "Access Linux Platform" (ALP). Incidentally,
this is sort of similar to the evolution of Symbian, both as a company
and operating system.

Now ALP as an operating system runs three kinds of applications: Linux
apps (written specifically for ALP), Garnet apps (emulated, I think),
and Java apps. I was not able to find out what kind of linux devices
ALP itself can run on; there are some "reference designs" out there
but I can't say if you can run it on your Nokia, Openmoko, Linux
computer, or Eee.

Hi all,
this is just another small progress report, so you don't mistake the
radio silence as a sign that I've wandered off in another direction. I
know that some of you (Mike) have been wondering what's up.

It's been four months since my last update, and the gtd.g-b.dk site
seems very stale. I apologize for that; I haven't been keeping the
site up to date with what I've been doing (which, to be fair, hasn't
been all that much either...). I shall post an update and a new sample
download "soon".

Okay, so progress:
* Categories are now rock solid and look exactly like the built in
Categories, only better ... there are less limits and the dialogs
support full-screen (DIA) size.
* The context-centric Next Actions list is nearing something
functional, but it's still very limited.
* There is support for the 5-way nav wherever it makes sense (which is
in a lot of places). It's my intention to make the app as
"one-handedly useable" as possible. Also, mapping the app to a
hardbutton allows you to cycle through the main screens with repeated
hardbutton presses (similar to the built-in PIMs).
* Still no way to delete actions...
* Still no way to view/edit action details (dates, notes)...
* There's just a single and noncritical bug.
* The outline is still not working. Internally, the data is actually
linked as an outline, but I just have no way to show it.

I'm still very much "into" this project, and personally can't wait to
have it done, or at the very least in a useful state. But, for the
record, at the same time I see more and more signs of the Palm OS
nearing the end of its useful life. Also, I am truly intrigued by the
Openmoko project. We'll see what the future brings.

Cheers,
KlaymenDK

Klayman,

Thanks so much for your efforts. I'm not really an OS person and didn't
realize there was so much complexity behind the linux platforms. From my
reading on the Access site, it seemed to me that the Access Linus Platform
ran on a specific version of Linux which was different that the version
installed on the eeepc. But with your information I was able to get further
info and I think it will still work.

Thanks again,

Catherine

I think what you seek is called KeyLink:

I'm so glad to be of service! I may not have the answer you seek, but
if I can help get you started in the right direction, I've helped just
the same.

This is my position too. Whether it be Palm OS or Windoze I've found
over the years that eventually the core purpose of the app has been

A concept that seems foreign to some computer / handheld users is "it
works, that's good enough."

That's a little misleading, Palm has publicly stated more than once it
will not be using ALP, and is working on its own OS. See:

Plaxo will sync tasks, notes, contacts, calendar, etc. but
unfortunately I don't know of a PalmOS client for Plaxo. I'm using it
indirectly through Outlook (i.e. Plaxo syncs all my Outlook apps
together, along with Google Calendar).

BTW, Goosync has announced task sync for their premium version
