Welcome to Palm Resource!
Thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people still happily use Palm PDAs, as it is a classic device that still meets their needs, yet many of the freeware sites have died. So we decided to (slowly as time allows) build a new archive with a goal to permanently keep it online! If you have any suggestions for software you would like added you can contact us via our contact form.
Please review our terms of use and our privacy policy before you download any software from this site. By downloading software and/or using this site you are indicating you agree with the above terms. DO NOT download software and/or use this site if you do not agree with any portion of our terms above.
We’ve currently pinned the Palm desktop library on the homepage since it is the most popular download currently (but you can navigate the other categories on the right sidebar to find other software).

This simple freeware application makes it possible to sync all legacy Palm devices with the newest V-6.2 Palm Desktop. Palm claims that the V-6.2 desktop won't work with older devices, but PalmHotSyncSetup fixes that issue.

We refer to the older devices as Legacy devices. Here is a list of specific devices which fall into each category:
Legacy Devices: any device running OS4 or earlier, any non-Palm brand handheld (Sony, Garmin, etc.), or Treo-600, Tungsten C/T/T2, Zire-71
