PalmOS is the operating system used by the Pilot, PalmPilot, WorkPad,
Palm III, Palm IIIx, Palm V, and pdQ smartphone devices.
Each of these gadgets is a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and
comes with programs to help the user keep track of personal information,
such as addresses & telephone numbers, meetings, todo lists and
general notes.
In this way, they replace the traditional paper address book, calendar
and notepad.
PalmOS devices improve on earlier PDAs in that they can synchronize their
data with another computer.
Of course the other computer must have compatible software in order to
communicate with the PalmOS device.
This software is often referred to as a conduit.
Although
3Com
does not support Linux conduits, Linux developers have provided a
wide variety of applications which share data with PalmOS devices.
