As a Palm IIIx user, I've been really disappointed about the lack of add-ins for that model. Perhaps having a player with the seriously cool lab rats that Sony has on the job, a truly noble replacement will be coming out. Perhaps a dual-platform Palm/Linux model?:-)

You might try using the hack "Time Pal", available from various Palm download sites, including this one on ZD Net: ZD Net Palm Downloads. It keeps your Pilot on the same time as the PC you are syncing from. The time may be off, but it's off together... (No, I am not the author, nor a ZD Net person. Just a Pilot freak sharing a solution). LJ
All of this is, of course, IMHO... As a Palm loyalist, I am hopeful they will continue to dream-up, create and produce wonderful tools for us to use. As a consumer, I am concerned about things like the releasing of the IIIx (I have one) and soon the Vx, without any of the expansion devices they are designed for. If Palm or a peripheral vendor announced add-ons for the slot real-soon-now I would continue to be hopeful about the future of the Palm brand specifically. But without the design and products they have out there (or will soon) and instead focusing on cosmetic features only, then I would say the white flag is out and the spin-off is just to dump the baby out with the bathwater before those college bills come due. I want to believe consumers haven't tossed their cash away on the IIIx, but if we have, I know that it will end my relationship with that brand of handheld (and I'm into my third generation of Palm's). And with more choices out there, I won't have to cry too much, as long as my data sync's over.

Seems to me one needs to block access to their eyes then...
But why, that is the question.
