Mmm, I found 3 or 4 years ago when I was doing this for a living that
Palm had quite extensive documentation which made it easy to target
using a GNU toolchain.

The device I was targetting did not have network ability and database
updates were down when the device was placed in the cradle and
performed a HotSync.

Basically we wrote our own HotSync script in python which would
download the data from the palm and then do apprpriate database
inserts to get stuff into the postgres database.

I still don't think I'm actually answering the question you have, but
I'm trying!
