A wish list for the next Palm Desktop for Macintosh
On March 24, Apple Computer released Mac OS X. Palm, Inc. has already stated that it's hard at work on a Mac OS X version of Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager software for release later this year.

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Together, maybe we really can change the world
There's important business to discuss in this month's editorial from Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz. Not only is long-time employee Heather McDaniel embarking on an exciting 400-mile bike journey to raise money to help find a cure for AIDS, but it's also time to announce the winner of last month's PalmPower Scavenger Hunt.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The HandEra 330, mobile channels, and the MyPalm portal
As we sift through the PalmPower mail bag this month, we find two letters arguing against certain criticisms made in the May issue about the HandEra 330. A PalmPower mobile channel reader is disappointed when one article gets cut short, and another reader wonders how he can display his Date Book calendar on the Web for others to see.
