PilotBean is a package that provides a Java interface to the US Robotics PalmPilot (TM). This version of the PilotBean (v 2.0) allows users to perform the following tasks:
  • Add memopad entries.
  • Add datebook entries.
  • Edit datebook entries.
  • Output all datebook entries.
  • Listen for newly added memos.
  • Listen for newly added datebook entries.
  • Listen for newly updated datebook entries.

These functions can be used through one or more Java methods included in the PilotBean version 2.0 package.

Future plans for PilotBean involve implementing more ways to share and organize data with the PalmPilot. These plans include implementing an interface to the PalmPilot's ToDo List and Address Book. PalmPilot applications with corresponding desktop applications are also being explored as a means of organizing certain types of data.
