| Palm / Pocket PC application: Calendar | Record / Send Event | Beam Appointment (MS) / Send via Bluetooth (Widcomm); both in context menu |
| Contacts | Record / Send Contact | Beam Contact… (MS) / Send via Bluetooth (Widcomm); both in context menu |
| Documents to Go / Office Mobile in WM5 (make sure you save your files in your Office Mobile apps as native Windows files, not in the Pocket format! This also means you can't directly transfer anything created by pre-WM5 Pocket Office applications.) | File/Send File… | Send any .DOC or .XLS files from MS or WM5 Widcomm (NOT from pre-WM5 Widcomm!) |
| Memos / text-only stuff created in Notes | Record / Send Memo | Send over any text (.txt) file (from MS or WM5 Widcomm (NOT from pre-WM5 Widcomm!)). Note that if the file is bigger than 32 kbytes, it'll be sliced into 32 kbyte-long chunks and inserted into consequent memos. |
| Note Pad / graphical content created in Notes | Record / Send Note (notes will be transferred as 304*704 .PNG images) | Not possible to transfer the binary .pwi files created by the Pocket PC Notes to Palm directly, only after a to-text conversion to be inserted into Memos. Well-formed PNG's are accepted back to Note Pad on Palm - that is, with some manual hacking (see my image editor/viewer roundup for more info), you can (comparatively) easily capture your graphical notes on the PPC and upload them to Palm |
| Photos / (no native app to create one; HTC Camera in camera-enabled, newer, HTC-manufactured devices) | Photo/Send… | Send any (not very large!) .JPG or .GIF files from MS or WM5 Widcomm (NOT from pre-WM5 Widcomm!) |
| Voice Memo / Notes (recording to self-standing WAV files) | V Memo/Send V Memo (PPC doesn't support the audio codec!) | - (Palm doesn't support the standard (PCM/GSM) audio codecs of PPC; therefore, transferred records natively recorded PPC won't be inserted into the Voice Memo list on Palm) |
