A new version of the Palm Desktop was released by palmOne last week for its models, and while reports were generally good, some users have reported problems with the new version.

Installation has forced some users to reinstall the desktop conduits for third party applications such as Pocket Mirror, Backup Buddy, and VersaMail, among others.

Additional issues are related to the new version of the Outlook conduit included with the Palm Desktop update. Some pre-existing issues have been solved, including a problem checking off tasks using DateBk5 on the handheld.

However, users are reporting that some problems have not been solved, most notably an issue that creates duplicate appointments when an appointment is edited on the handheld and an alarm goes off on the desktop. Even if the item is not changed in any way in Outlook on the desktop, duplicate events can be created during synchronization if the same appointment has been edited on the handheld. Some users have reported that using PocketMirror XT instead of the palmOne Outlook conduits solves the duplication problem.

Reports from Mac users have been more positive. New conflict resolution options included with the Mac version of the updated Palm Desktop allow Mac users to use both iSync and Palm Desktop conduits simultaneously. It is now possible to use iSync to sync only iCal data and use the Palm Desktop conduit to sync only contact information, for example. Improved iSync compatibility also includes the ability to sync both address fields between the handheld and the desktop computer.
