Dean Gahlon, who I know from the Lojban mailing list, makes a regular
practice of creating a version of the Worldcon program schedule in a
format suitable for use on Palm devices. A number of other cons have
used Dean's software to create this type of application, including
Boskone, Arisia, Capricon, and Loscon. When Dean saw the schedule for
Penguicon, he decided to help out in a similar way by creating an
application file and a data file.

Palm Application file http://www.penguicon.org/programming/prognotes.prc
Palm Data Base file: http://www.penguicon.org/programming/penguicon2007.pdb

Click the icons on your desktop of both files to activate your Palm
desktop software, then synchronize your device. Both files need to be
loaded into in the Palm's main memory (in other words, not on an
external memory card). Now you have the equivalent of a pocket program
available electronically!
