Just to join in, and as a "one-up"  ....
I started with the original - the VERY first - PalmPilot mark 1. Then
went through several, and finally stayed with the Tungsten C, complete
with WiFi.
The three apps that I use more than any other on there, that so far
haven't been replicated on my new iPhone, are:
- Datebk6 (or 5 even)
- JFile - I use it every day, I have databases set up for my patients
in hospital, case-based databases, all sorts of things. So far, I've
been unable to find a similar database app for the iPhone. JFile is
brilliant - I've been using it for years.
- InfoSelect for Palm - as I use InfoSelect on PC (and on a Macbook Pro
under VMWare). The best free-form database bar none. Still the fastest
- virtually instantaneous - search of any database I've ever tried. If
you haven't seen it, check out www.miclog.com I've used it since
version 1, and am now on the latest version. Their Palm version syncs
perfectly with the desktop version in both directions. I've emailed
them to put in a request for an iPhone version, but they say that they
haven't had enough requests to make it worthwhile, given that InfoSelect
doesn't run native under Mac OS - it's a PC program. Not sure of their
logic there, given that a large proportion of iPhone users would be PC
users too..... maybe sync via MobileMe?
Until these apps are replicated on the iPhone, I'll be carrying the Palm
Tungsten C around in the briefcase as well as the iPhone in my pocket.
