How to Convert Your Palm Data to iPod

But what do you do if you have important digital information (contacts, music) on your Palm that you need to move to your iPod? Unfortunately you can't hook your Palm directly to your iPod. However, it only takes a few minutes to transfer the information using a downloadable computer program.
