If you have a Pocket PC device, then you need "iSilo for Pocket PC". What exactly have you done so far that does not work?

i have loaded ver 4, i cannot find a place to get a registation number to get the isilo to work for a trail period. i am pretty sure the version for pocket pc that i loded is correct but i wanted to use it first to make sure.

iSilo provides a fully-functional 30-day trial period. There is no need for a registration code to use iSilo in "trial mode". If you decide you want to use iSilo beyond the 30-day trial period, then you purchase a license and receive a registration code to convert iSilo to registered/licensed mode.

Look at this (http://isilo.com/support/manual/iSiloPPC/Mode.htm) page of the manual. Specifically:

At any time during the trial period, you can also switch in and out of free mode to see the difference between the limitations of free mode and full functionality. To switch in or out of free mode, go to the document list view and in the Tools menu, tap Options. On the Mode tab of the Options dialog, you can select whether you want to be in free mode or not.

Sorry folks, I just switched from Palm where iSilo operated really intuitively. Now I had downloaded iSilo to my desktop computer. Installed, but it never synchronized with my PocketPC (it used to do it automatically in Palm). So I do have iSilo and it is fully operational version on my comp, but how do I move it to handheld? I had tried to download a short version - so called .cap file, but there are several files there and non of them could be open in FileExplorer.
I am really lost.
I wish Sony didn't get out from Palm production :mad:

The zip file contains a CAB file which you copy to your Pocket PC device. On your Pocket PC device (*not* your Windows computer), use File Explorer to navigate to the CAB file and tap the CAB file to begin installation. If that does not make sense, you can instead download the Windows setup program (downloadable from the same page as the zipped CAB), which runs from your Windows computer. It will install "iSilo for Pocket PC" to your device the next time you connect via ActiveSync or if you are connected via ActiveSync at the time you run the setup program, it will install it then.

For step-by-step instructions with screenshots, you can look here (http://www.isilo.com/support/howto/InstallPPC/InstallPPC.htm).
