sjonke - in regards to your problems with multiple conduits installed, starting with the Tungsten T3 and Tunsten E, PalmOne released completely new organizer apps. These apps have a different database version, and new capabilities, but they require different conduits. The latest PalmOne devices (Zire72 and Zire31) also include these new organizer apps.

Palm Desktop installs both sets of conduits, because it has no way of knowing whether you have a newer device or a classic device. It is up to you to disable the corresponding conduits (go to HotSync manager, change conduit properties to "do nothing" and make that the default).

I agree that Palm should have provided some sort of wizard to disable / enable the conduits based on your handheld type. But to be fair, they have the same problem on the Windows version of HotSync as well.

And... I applaud PalmOne for its support of MacOS X by including native conduits for their new organizer apps.
