Okay...so I've managed to figure out how to sync two devices to the same Palm Desktop user account. If you give each device the same name, they'll both sync to the same Palm Desktop user account that bears that particular name. You can easily change your device's name by deleting its existing name, which you created for it during the inital setup phase. There's a trick to doing this by typing three specific characters in the Memo application. You can find instructions for deleting your device's name in the Palm Knowledge Library on Palm's website. Once you've deleted your device's name, the device will assume the name of the user account that you have open on your Palm Desktop the next time you sync the device.

On a separate note, I was intrigued by your idea to sync with Google Calendar. Is that possible with a Palm Treo 700p? I am a big fan of Google Calendar. I have read about the new downloadable Gmail Mobile Application. Have you had success downloading this application on your device? Does this application also allow you to view a mobile format of your Google Calendar? I understand that one first needs to download Java Virtual Machine to be able to download the application. Can you tell me where I can find this application for my particular device? Thanks for your great suggestion!
