Experience True Contact Management from your Handheld

Because ACT! for Palm OS is a robust ACT! application native to the handheld device, it delivers many of the benefits of contact and customer management such as a linked calendar and task list, the ability to go directly to a contact record from a scheduled appointment, and the ability to view interactions with a contact or a customer from the contact record. In contrast, ACT! Link for Palm OS¹ and third-party synchronization solutions must use the Date Book and Address Book that come with Palm OS devices and do not provide the seamless experience of ACT! for Palm OS.
