- Can you beam memos, contacts, etc from a Palm to a Windows Mobile Pocket
PC and vice versa?
- Can all data from a current Palm be transfered to a new Windows Mobile
Pocket PC?
- Can Palm applications of the *.PRC filetype compatable with Windows
Mobile?

Yes, assuming it is a PPC 2002 or later. For enhanced beaming with
more than contact support, you may need to get Peacemaker from
www.conduits.com

Maybe. Data is just data, but can the PPC read the file formats? If
there is a compatible PPC version, it should be no problem. For
example, HanDBase .PDB files work on both the PPC and Palm with
HanDBase installed.

No, not directly. There is a Palm emulator for the PPC out there
though. I don't recall the name.
