KPilot Homepage

KPilot is a replacement for the Palm Desktop software from PalmSource Inc., which makes your PalmOS powered handheld (e.g., a Palm Zire 31) capable of exchanging information with your KDE powered computer. KPilot doesn't replace the Palm Desktop all by itself. It connects and integrates a number of fine KDE 3.x applications such as Kontact into a package that can do everything the Palm Desktop can, and more.

Get in touch via the mailing list: kdepim-users@kde.org is the list for questions and answers.

GPG Key

KPilot has a GPG key which is used for signing tarballs and similar important files; you should use this key to check tarballs downloaded from this site for integrity. You can fetch the key from from this page. The pilot-link site has a good page on the importance of integrity-checking, with the GPG key for pilot-link as well.

Thanks

KPilot couldn't exist without the pilot-link library, which does the lower-level communication with the handheld. Many thanks to David Desrosiers for maintaining that project.
