my dad has a palm pilot and all of his info is stored on palm's software "hotsync". his palm recently decided to stop working, so he wants to get a new PDA. He is not sure however if he needs to get another Palm so that all the information that he has on the software can transfer over......he wants to know if a) he needs to get the same type of Palm Pilot in order to transfer his info or if he can use any model of Palms and b) is there a software out there that can take his Palm info and turn it into info that is compatible and that can transfer over to a different PDA like Sony or something.....I really need a pro to help me with these questions that I have. Please give me some feedback.

Also, as I said earlier, his Palm just died on him. We have tried pressing the reset button, its not the batteries, and we dont know what to do. If you can help us with this problem that would be helpful as well. THANKS!
