Not sure where to post this.

I found a site which has a Ruby library for talking to the Palm OS, and I just wanted to share it with those who might be able to do something with it. I’m trying to find a PHP version of this. I just don’t have time at the mo to learn Ruby… :-( or to decode the palm DAT files…
Palm Ruby Sync

I would love to have Tracks tie-in with the Palm. When I get a little time I want to try figure out some way of getting the RSS feeds as to-do items for my Palm, even if I have to manually sync the done items from the Palm to the desktop.

Here’s an extract from the READ ME:

“PalmSync” is a Ruby (Scripting Language) library for syncing your
PalmPilot with DBMS(MySQL and so on). You can also read/modify/create records
in your PalmPilot using Ruby script in PalmSync.
PalmSync package contains some Ruby scripts and Ruby extention library for
pilot-link.

And from the features…

You can synchronize your Palm’s databases such as Address, Datebook, Memo, Todo,
Expense, JFile, MicroMoney and so on.

Does anyone have a solution which is working for them at the moment?

Martin

I don’t think that I’d make this a part of core application, but with the improving Tracks API, it might be a good candidate for someone to write a script or something to provide some kind of Tracks to Palm sync.

Hi,

I know this is an old thread, but no one else seems to be talking about using a Palm PDA with Tracks.

I just started with Tracks, and my first order of business was to facilitate sync between the two by means of a Perl script. It features bi-directional sync between all tasks in Tracks and the Palm Desktop todo list.

It’s part of a bigger project with a huge description, but if anyone is interested the project is available on my blog at http://stevenwiki.homedns.org/index.php/User:Srosariomd/BlogEntry:_2009_September_19_10:12:10_CDT
