Out of the box, older Pocket PCs loaded with the original Pocket PC 2000 software do not talk to Palm devices. Pocket PC 2002 and 2003 include OBEX support, which allows you to beam to a Palm device or a Nokia cell phone. If you want to use Pocket PC 2000 and beam contact and other information to and from Palm devices, you will need to use a third-party product. One of these is Peacemaker from Conduits Software. Peacemaker has both a free version and a more sophisticated full version. The free version allows you to beam contacts to and from Palm devices one contact at a time. The paid version allows you to select multiple data sets (multiple contacts, appointments, files, and so on) of information and transfer them all at the same time. You can get more information from Conduits directly at www.conduits.com, and you can try the evaluation version included on the companion CD.
