I'll admit that I'm not the most computer literate person there is, but loading programs onto a Palm is so easy even I can do it. Just follow the instructions exactly and try to download onto a separate card instead of the Palm itself.

With the software that came with the TX I found it very easy to hotSync my TX although initially did struggle a bit to find out how to put stuff on my card but do prefer to use cards

Re: Bought first PDA today

install the software onto your computer

plug in the cable

hit the button on cable

thats it.

It comes with a utility to drag and drop palm software directly to the palm.

Some things you might want to consider:
I have read reviews about the power button at the top wearing out, to counteract this, you can download a free program called off-it which lets you power off the palm just by clicking the program.
(saves the button life )

If you plan on viewing youtube videos you might consider a program called Kinoma. It allows you to search and stream youtube, google videos and much more. It costs around 25 bucks, but for the guy who needs everything, I had to pick it up.

I'm also going to download and try out a flash player for palm os , and I'll let you know how that goes before I recommend anything. Currently there is no flash support available for palm

I have had my TX for a couple of years and hotsync a couple of times a week and have had no problems with the cable and very easy just to press the button once all hooked up.

I got it from http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Sy...-It-9296.shtml

Corloize is another nifty one if you want your palm theme to look pretty.
