Importing Palm OS data to Outlook

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi all,

My new Dell Axim X50v has arrived. It's charged up. I'm preparing to
switch from my Handspring (with Palm Desktop Software Version 4.0.1) to
Microsoft Outlook.

Here's the problem: the only compatible file type I can find for the
address book (after running tests) is the vCard file, and then only
transferring one...by...one.... This will be very time consuming,
considering the size of my contacts list. Is there a way of importing
the address book as a whole?

To make matters worse, I don't see any compatible file type for the
calendar, which is huge and which I routinely use for reference on past
activities. Also, it would be really nice to transfer my memos and "to
do" items.

So, is there something I'm missing? Do I need third party software?
Surely I'm not the first to make the switch from Palm to PocketPC.

I had the same problem and used PocketCopy available at
www.pocketgear.com I saw it on sale for $14.95 I paid $20.

You can do the one at at time thing and Palm talks about syncing with
Outlook and then with your pocket pc but it would not work for me.

In the end the $20 was worth it.
