I recently stumbled across a new offering for Microsoft desktops
called, Pimlico. It's a new application by the author Datebk, a very
nice calendar for the PalmOS. I haven't had a chance to play with it
but it seems like it might be a good alternative for current and
former PalmOS users who are uncomfortable with "cloud computing."
Pimlical is compatible with Palm Desktop and with tiny XP computers
coming down in size and price while scaling up in terms of computing
power and battery efficiency, little machines like the Viliv X70
<http://www.dynamism.com/#Product=viliv_x70> and umid M1 <http://
www.dynamism.com/#Product=umid> or even a netbook like the original
Asus EeePC become compelling alternatives to traditional PDAs for
people who don't want to move to cloud computing.

Pimlical is like a skin that runs on top of Access Desktop 6.2 for Palm,
which is the feature lite desktop Access released. Access desktop is
like the old version 3 of Palm Desktop, 1 address, no color for
categories, just 4 phone fields, 4k note limit, etc.

It's much more than a skin. Pimlical was designed from the ground up
to be a standalone app outside of the palm environment. The first
iteration required the palm desktop but a standalone app came very
shortly after the initial app (sometime last December). There's too
many additional features for me to list.

Check it out at http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/. The Gorilla's will
be happy:)
