Would it be better to use the PalmDesktop, because this software was made for Palm-Devices or wouldn't I see any difference when I sync to other software like iCal (Mac OSX)?

Personally I greatly prefer to use iCal over Palm Desktop. The important thing is not to try to use both at once, or you will have major problems. If you choose to switch back after trying iSync, you must also be very careful not to use conflicting conduits.

The Palm Desktop (installed on your computer) should have all the information that is currently on it. Make sure that you sync before moving on.
On the tungsten, there will be a version of the palm desktop (updated) for it. Just install that version, it will find your old version, and import from there. PalmDesktop 6 supports Vista, unknown how well it will work as a 32bit app being emulated in 64bit environment.
First Export Palm calendar as a Vcal to your desktop.
Then import the vcal on your desktop into ical
Synch the itouch with ical.
The problem with this solution is that you have to repeat the whole process every time you want to update the calendar, but it does work

To get your information transferred, which is called "Syncing" you must have installed the Palm Software and told it which communication method, USB, Serial, Infrared, etc. you will be using. To learn more about this, click on the link below:

Are you trying to use two different PDAs with the same PalmDesktop? That will be a problem. I switched from Palm to Clie and back to Palm, and their drivers are NOT compatible - even though they are basically the same software. Stupid, I know.
At least now I can have two different Palm Desktops - one for my Clie and one for my T3. It's working for me right now. I would make backup files of everything before you load the new Desktop. You could lose all your data/programs if you don't. I learned that the first time.
