Can Palm files (data) be transferred to Compaq iPaq?

[micdee1222]

Hi All:

Was hoping one (or some) of you experienced iPaq users could assist. I recently purchased a Compaq iPaq and would like to transfer the data from my Palm IIIc to the iPaq. Please advise if this can be done and how?!!?! :)

Thanks much!

It is possible to convert Palm data to the Pocket PC. The process is explained in detail on several other threads on this discussion board. If you first synchronize your Palm OS device to Outlook, you should be able to install and run ActiveSync to get the data transferred onto the iPAQ. Synchronizing the Palm with Outlook can be done using a utility such as Pocket Mirror or Intellisync. Pocket Mirror comes bundled with most Palm devices. When you run your Palm setup program, you are given a choice of synchronizing with Outlook. If you choose this option, Pocket Mirror will install automatically for you. After the setup is completed, run HotSync to get the data from Palm to Outlook. You can then set up ActiveSync and then run it to get the data onto the Pocket PC. Hope this helps.
