Yes, I have PalmConnect.  However it didn't arrive -- I drove over to
Palm and retrieved my copy (thanks again, Palm people!).  They were
nice enough to make that arrangement for me because I was leaving for
a one-week trip and wanted to be able to use PalmConnect on the road.
As I mentioned, it hasn't worked out on the UltraLite.  PalmConnect
needs enough vertical pixels to display those non-resizable Zoomer apps
and 640x200 doesn't cut it.  Even when I sawed off CGA.GEO from Ensemble
2.0 and bolted it onto PalmConnect (which at least allowed me to get
through setup and run the program), it still didn't completely work.

As a consequence, I can't really report details until next week when
I'm back at home and can run it on a desktop PC.  But from first glances,
it looks great.  I'm especially pleased with what I've seen for importing
(and remapping fields from) comma-seperated value files into the address
book -- a critical feature for me to be able to reuse data from various
sources.
