Please be advised that the “PalmVista Simple Installer” mentioned here is NOT freeware, as is stated on some other sites. It requires the purchase of a $9.95 key before it will allow anything to be HotSynced. There is NO trial version and NO trial period. Without payment, it does nothing useful.

While I have no problem with commercial software, I have a big problem with commercial software being advertised as “freeware”.

I do not consider this commercial application to be a satisfactory replacement for the free QuickInstall update that Palm should be providing its users, especially those of us with older Palm PDAs that cannot use the 6.2 version of Palm Desktop.

So uh, what doesn’t work? I have no problems using Quick Install and HotSync in general with our palms while testing software….

I must be missing something. :)
