[Mobilepartners] DST Issue for Palm OS Devices

[Andrew Yu]

Hello,

This message affects all users of Palm OS devices including Treo 650, 680, 
700p, and 755p.

There has been a number of reported incidents for Palm OS device users that 
calendar events from 11/1 through 11/3 are shifted by one hour (e.g. 10 am 
meeting appearing as 9 am meeting, etc.) when synchronizing with TechTime 
Calendar Server (either on the device or on the server). The calendar 
entries for days prior to 11/1 and after 11/3 are not affected. Windows 
Mobile, BlackBerry, and other mobile devices should be ok.

Users of Palm OS Treo devices are advised to be aware of this issue and use 
alternate means to view/add/edits events (e.g. using desktop client software 
or web-version of TechTime Calendar). The problem occurs regardless of 
whether the device had DST Patch applied.

We have reported this incident to Palm, Inc., however, given the short 
notice and the immediacy of the problem, we advise the users to be careful 
when reviewing the calendar entries from 11/1 (Thursday) through 11/3 
(Saturday).

Andrew
