Help! Synching calendars

by neotrinity Dec 13, 2005 1:03AM PST

Hey BOL listeners, I need you tech saviness! Is there an easy way to sync calendars between a Windows Mobile iPaq and a Palm handheld?

My wife has a Palm Zire 71 (using Palm Desktop for calendar on her computer) and I have an HP iPaq 2495 (using Outlook for calendar on my computer). I would like to sync our PDA calendars together.

I did a little searching and it looks like we could both use the calendar under a Yahoo! account to sync our PDAs. Is there an easier way?

Alternatively, is there a way to sync my Outlook calendar with her PalmDesktop calendar, thus allowing us to sync with our own PIMs and stay in sync?

Thanks!

I seem to remember from my palm days that you could sync your plam directly with Outlook.... has that changed?

I could have her switch to using Outlook, but she is most familiar with PalmDesktop. Also that would still leave me with haveing to synch her Outlook (on her computer) with my Outlook (on my computer). Is that possible?

Missed the part about the two computers. there has been much discussion about this same topic in this forum, a longtime lament of Tom's. Don't really know the solution. Sorry!
