It's easier than ever to use a Palm as a standalone device. Bluetooth and SD card readers are ubiquitous. You almost certainly have one or the other (or both!) built-in to the computer or smartphone you're using to view this webpage! That means data transfer to a Palm is as simple as copying files from one storage medium to the other.

But while it's no longer necessary to rely on the classic HotSync for installing apps and files, what if you still want to use Palm Desktop for backups, or keeping that address book up-to-date? What if your device needs repairs to work like new? The PalmDB community has got you covered!
