The support for synchronizing with handheld devices manufactured by Palm, Inc., is
already built into Evolution and Kontact. Initial connection with the device is, in both
cases, easily performed with the assistance of a wizard. Once the support for Palm Pilots
is configured, it is necessary to determine which type of data should be synchronized
(addresses, appointments, etc.). For more information, see KDE User Guide and GNOME
User Guide. The program KPilot as integrated in Kontact is also available as an inde-
pendent utility. It is described in Chapter 6, Synchronizing a Handheld Computer with
KPilot (↑KDE User Guide).
