I'm looking to replace my Palm One Tungsten E2. The sync software will no longer work with more advanced versions of Windows. Would this work?

It works on a Asus N53sn laptop with Windows 7 Pro. Though it loses power juice quickly out in the field, even when not working.

Yes; the HP iPAQ 211 uses the ActiveSync protocol. ActiveSync is available for Windows XP. Windows Vista and Windows 7 use Windows Mobile Device Center to communicate with ActiveSync devices, like the HP iPAQ 211. I can't find an authoritative answer for Windows 8/Windows 8.1 and WMDC, though this[1] seems to suggest that it works.

I'm still using Win XP - which the sync software still works with: Can't say as how it would work with anything later.

No, it will not. Modern touchscreens require a capacitive stylus, while the old Palm decices just required pressure.

I download mine from a disc from Palm titled "Desktop Software for Windows and Mac". I have a duplicate disc which I could mail to you, since Palm is out of business.

vista does not support multitouch, so you would not have any of the pinch, multifinger or swipe functionality, it might work as a standard mouse

The manufacturer does not provide any configuration software with this device. Windows 7 does not include gesture support. Several of the gestures defined in the start up guide do work in my Windows 7 environment. http://www.perixx.com/en/service/Perixx_Manual/PERIPAD/PERIPAD-702.pdf Mostly the page up, page down, application switching and docking and the page forward and page backward options.

I had problems when I tried to load the Palm TX software on my new Windows Vista laptop, and apparently only the basic applications (calendar, memos, etc.) will Hotsync with Vista, anyway. I was a little disappointed about that. However, I loaded the software on our Windows XP PC, and the Palm TX works (and syncs) like a dream.

Technically, yes, it is compatible. Seems you are looking for something more full W8 featured, and, as Nevin pointed out, this device is limited in that respect. I have been able to approximate a sweeping action (touch with the thumb and sweep with the index finger - not terribly reliable in response though).I get to try out the new Touch Mouse T620 next week, so we'll see how it holds up.

I bought mine in late Oct 2007. I downloaded the software from Palm website and my TX can Hot Synch fine with my laptop with a VISA OS. I was prepared to call the tech support but was able to manage on my own. It did take me quite a bit of time when I was rushed to go on a trip overseas. I do not take my laptop on vacations anymore.to all. DON'T let these whining complains scare you. It WORKS

Thank you for the tip, A. Gordon, but unfortunately that download did not repair my problem. It did not repair the problem for many others that are using Palm with Vista either. I do check these things out when I see them. That is why I posted to Amazon, to prevent others the same issues. Palm is supporting their Treo, but not the TX. If you ever hear of another tip on this I'd be delighted to try it. Check out the Palm site for yourself, and see the issues from other owners. Do you have a TX?

I went through the PALM TX - VISTA problem with syncing months ago. It took tons of time with email tech support with PALM, HP, and Microsoft. It was finally HP that told me that PALM is a 32 bit system and my problem was that I had the 64 bit VISTA. They sent me the 32 bit version of VISTA (of course with no refund for the 64 bit). After that and with the PALM - Vista fix on the PALM website, everything works fine. I haven't had a need to sync any documents, so that may not work.

No, the Sync properties do not connect for what I have attempted (please do some more research). Also, Microsoft Active Sync 4.5 does not install on Windows 8.1. Windows 7 works great with this device (Once connected the device can sync on all aspects even providing the iPaq internet over a bluetooth connection (range limits the distance).

Make sure finger systems works with Windows 8 first. I use it windows 7 and haven't got much support.

I still use a Palm Tx so not sure about the earlier M500; but the Palm operating system will not sync through the USB port on newer 64 bit computers. Mine will however sync just fine after I installed a free driver for use with 64 bit computers. Here's a link.. http://www.zdnet.com/64-bit-drivers-for-you-old-palm-os-holdouts-7000014363/

Since I don't have Windows 8 on my computer at work (or home), I haven't tested it. I do know that my E-2 Palm still synchronizes with Windows 7, but unfortunately the e-mail conduit doesn't work with MS Outlook 2010. I can synchronize with everything (calendar, to-do list, etc) except my e-mail.

I have my palm set up on my work pc. I'm not running windows 8 but check with this site: http://pizzaboy192.com/download/. pizzaboy usually has a fix.

Yes. The Palm TX will operate with Micrsoft Windows 7. Just follow the directions of the enclosed instructions. However, if you are operating in a 64 bit environment, you will be required to download aditional software!

This most definitely works on Android. Specifically Android 4.2.2 on my ATT G2. Other than normal tap, this supports two finger scrolling and also two finger dragging ( one finger clicks while the other drags). I can't try it out on my windows 8 pc because I'm waiting on my bluetooth dongle to arrive. I have to say, I am quite pleased with my purchase.EDIT:Received my usb bluetooth 4.0 dongle and with windows 8.1, the trackpad is connected!What functions:Tap-to-clickTwoFinger-Tap-to-right-clickCLICK and drag (not tap to drag, though)What doesn't:Any advanced gestures.
