This web-downloadable version 4.1.4E of Palm Desktop for Windows includes these components:

Palm Desktop 4.1.4 The PC complement of the Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos and other items on your Palm device.		When you perform a HotSync operation, your device synchronises its information with Palm Desktop on your PC, so that you have an updated copy of your information in each place. You can use Palm Desktop on your PC to view, sort, find, edit, back up, and add applications to your device. When you synchronise, the changes will be updated on your device. If you synchronise with Microsoft Outlook, see "Palm Outlook Conduits" below.
HotSync Manager 6.0.1 controls synchronisation between your Palm device and your PC.		With HotSync Manager, you can specify conduit action and other synchronisation preferences, and add new applications to your device with the Install Tool.
Palm Outlook Conduits Let you synchronise with Microsoft Outlook, if desired		Some Palm devices use Palm Outlook Conduits to sync with Outlook; others use Chapura's PocketMirror software. The downloadable version of Palm Desktop 4.1.4E includes the Palm Outlook Conduits. If you previously used PocketMirror, it will be uninstalled and the Palm Outlook Conduits will replace it. When installing Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager, be sure to select Microsoft Outlook as the program with which you want to synchronise; otherwise, you will synchronise with Palm Desktop. Some versions of VersaMail include Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) for Outlook Calendar and Mail. If you set up an EAS account, the Calendar conduit will be disabled; Calendar items will be synchronised through EAS only, not through HotSync.
VersaMail 3.0 Conduit Synchronises email with PC email client		Some Palm devices include VersaMail 3.0, which lets you synchronise your e-mail wirelessly via WiFi or Bluetooth access point. In addition, you can synchronise with your desktop e-mail client when you perform a HotSync operation; the VersaMail 3.0 Conduit is for these HotSync operations. The VersaMail conduit is for e-mail synchronisation only. If you use EAS, as described above, remember that the VersaMail Conduit does not control Calendar synchronisation; Calendar synchronisation will be disabled in HotSync regardless of the VersaMail Conduit setting.

• Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, or Windows XP Professional (other versions, including Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, are not supported)
• Pentium class PC (some multimedia features require Pentium II processor or higher)
• 16 MB RAM minimum (32 MB recommended)
• 50 MB available hard disk space
• Video resolution at least 640x480 and 256 colors (800x600 recommended)

*If possible, LifeDrive, Treo 650, Zire 72 and Zire 31 users should use the version of Palm Desktop which came on the CD with their device. Although this download is compatible with these handhelds, additional conduits and applications are included on the CD version.

†LifeDrive note: The software on this page lets you synchronise your mobile manager with your PC's Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos and other items. However, this download does not include the LifeDrive Manager software. Please use the CD that came with your device to install LifeDrive Manager.

• Was there a version 4.2? This download (4.1.4E) corrects a version number issue with the previous release dated August 2005 which, in some places, incorrectly stated it was version 4.2. The "About" screen has always displayed version 4.1.4. If you installed the version labeled 4.2, there is no need to install 4.1.4E.
• Quick Install: Palm Quick Install requires your device to be running Palm OS® 4.0 or later 
• Using a device not listed above? As we mention above, we do not recommend you use this version of Palm Desktop unless your device is listed above. The devices listed above have new extended fields for the built-in Personal Information Management (PIM) applications. For example, you can store up to three addresses for a person with the extended PIM fields; on previous devices, you could store only one address. If you install this version of Palm Desktop and use a device not listed above, you will only be able to synchronize with the fields on your Palm device. In this example, although you can store three addresses for a person in Palm Desktop, only the first address will be synchronized with your older device. The extended PIM fields will not synchronise with the older device.

  Examples of extended fields not available on all devices (these may appear in Palm Desktop but will not synchronise with older devices):

  • Contacts (Address Book): Picture, Birthday, IM address, Website, more than one address.
  • Calendar (Date Book): Location, Category
  • Tasks (To Do List): Repeating tasks, completion date, timed alarms
  • Memos (Memo Pad): More than 4,000 characters in a memo item
  
  
• Some included conduits may not work with your device: Synchronisation between the desktop computer and the Palm device requires a corresponding application on the Palm device. Not all applications are supported on all Palm devices. For example, the Media conduit synchronises photos (and sometimes videos, depending on your device) with the Media or Photos application on your handheld. If your older handheld doesn't have a Media or Photos application, these items will not be synchronized.
• Using multimedia files with expansion cards: Some image files, video clips and audio files require installation to an expansion card inserted in your device. Not all Palm device include expansion capabilities. Expansion card and on-device applications may need to be purchased separately. Check the specs on your box for more information.
• What the "E" mean in 4.1.4E? The E stands for Extended, meaning that this version of Palm Desktop is intended for use with devices that use extended PIM applications.
