14 I do not have a Palm pilot, but the same principles apply for the HTC Alpine
15 phone/PDA (marketed as an Xda IIi on an O2 contract in the UK) which is
16 running WindozeCE. I didn't have to create a udev rule and it is being
17 picked up alright. I can't remember if I have to run udevstart when I
18 connect it - but I believe that I don't need to do that (sorry I'm away from
19 the PC right now). I am using app-pda/syncekonnector, app-pda/synce-kde,
20 app-pda/synce-serial.

22 Unfortunately, due to proprietary M$ code no syncing takes place with
23 Korganizer/Kontact and the current versions of the above packages, but can
24 browse the HTC's filesystem and copy/move files with Konqueror using rapip:/
25 in the address bar.
