How many hams use a PDA?  How many of them use Palm?  How many of them 
use/want to use their Palm for logging?  It is probably a pretty low 
number, Jacob.

You might be better off writing your own software or just using a 
spreadsheet.  I have used an Excel spreadsheet in my Compaq Aero 1550 
PDA for a long time.  It works fine.  Not a full-up logging program 
(no dupe/previous QSO checking, automatic field entry, etc.), but good 
enough to house the calls, dates, times, bands, modes, and 
names/locations.  I don't know if your PDA has it, but mine has a 
voice recorder.  I generally use it to record the QSO info while I'm 
driving, then transcribe it to the spreadsheet when I get to my next 
destination.
