Palm Desktop 4.1 Released

Palm has released Palm Desktop 4.1 for Macintosh. New in this version is a Send to Handheld application that enables you to add image or MP3 music files to a Palm OS device by dropping them onto the application’s icon. Send to Handheld can also copy files directly to SD (SecureDigital) cards installed in the Palm. Palm Tungsten T handheld owners can play back MP3 files using the recently released RealOne Mobile Player, which is a free 350K download, or included with the new Palm Zire 71 (see "Palm Tungsten C and Zire 71 Add Intriguing Features" in TidBITS 678). Palm Desktop 4.1, which runs under either Mac OS X or Mac OS 9 (though Palm recommends that you don’t synchronize the same handheld in both environments), also features improved, rewritten AppleScript support. The installer is a free 11.2 MB download.
