Designed exclusively for this task, PocketCopy moves your Palm Desktop appointment calendar, address book, memo pad, and task list to Outlook's Contacts, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks sections, respectively. It's compatible with Palm Desktop 3.0 and higher and Outlook 98 and higher.
After installing the program, fire up Palm Desktop and choose Tools > Addins > PocketCopy. Check the boxes for all four databases, then click Copy. When the process is complete, head to Outlook to see the results, then proceed to step 7.
Step 4: Go from Palm to Pocket PC for free

Install Outlook
All Pocket PCs come with some version of Outlook; the latest models generally include Outlook 2002. Unless you already have this or a newer version on your PC, install the program from your PDA's software CD. When that's done, run Outlook at least once before proceeding to the next step.
Tip
Whatever version of Outlook ends up on your PC, make sure to install the latest updates. They're available for download from Microsoft's Office Online site.
