Chapter 1. Introduction

KPilot 4.4.3 (with one update for Proko2 2.1.4) is an application that synchronizes your PalmPilot™ or similar device (like the Handspring™ Visor™ or the Sony® Clie™) with your KDE desktop, much like the Palm Desktop HotSync® software does for Windows®. KPilot can back-up, restore, and HotSync® your PalmPilot™. It can synchronize the built-in applications with their KDE counterparts. It also features additional conduits for third-party software.

There is a web page for KPilot: the Official KPilot Home Page . The KDE-PIM website also offers useful information on the subject of PIM in general. KPilot shares the kdepim-users mailing list, <kdepim-users@kde.org>. See the mailing lists page for more information on subscribing and unsubscribing from the list.

A word about version numbers: KPilot 4.4.x is current and still unstable as of June 2004. It does not work with KDE versions lower that 3.2.
