I'm trying to convert some Palm OS users at a client to Windows 2003, with
Mobility features requiring Windows Mobile 5.0.

I have found two stumbling blocks - 1st, with Palm OS there is a feature
called graphytie(sp?) that allows sketching ala Paint program, on screen of
Palm. Is there a similar feature in Mobile 5.0??

Also, is there an easy way to capture data in Palm phone and transfer to
Mobile 5.0 based phone?? How would you recommend accomplishing this?

There are several third party paint and draw programs... google time.

Until WM5, pword offered exactly what you describe, and the default
Notes app in wm5 still has b/w line drawing capabilities which suffice
for most "cocktail napkin" sketches.

Can you be more specific on what type of data and capture you are
referring to?

If you are talking about transitioning from one device to the new one,
the best option is to sync the palm with outlook, they sync with the win
mobile device, but there are several other options and apps to do this.

Otherwise, WinMobile has a number of options to receive data, for
example, bluetooth, wifi, cellular data connection, IR, memory card
transfers, sometimes serial, so the key is probably going to be what the
palm device can achieve.
