I need to be able to access it from anywhere – either on a computer, or via the Palm address book on my PDA (i.e. in that case it needs to sync to Palm Desktop). In all cases I want a fair degree of openness (at least CSV import and export, or other “open” standards). Current possibilities are:

  • Google Spreadsheet
  • Google Mail contacts
  • Flexadex
  • AirSet with Palm Desktop
  • A TiddlyWiki with Twab, possibly on my PDA if I can get a free PalmOS browser.

I haven’t yet tried any of these properly, save GMail contacts (sort-of). AirSet seems to be the best option so far – my PDA is generally the most failsafe method of “having stuff with me whenever I need it”. This is mainly a note to myself, but if anybody has other suggestions, info on the above ideas, or wants to test one of the systems for me, do please go ahead, and leave an appropriate comment. I just don’t have time to sort out a new contact system at the moment, but I’ll come back to it…

In other news, SeeqPod is really cool. So is the related Songerize.
