This is true for some of the OS 5 devices. The newer palmOne devices, 
such as the T5, T3, Treo 650, etc. have "Calendar" instead of Datebook. 
Calendar (which has a separate conduit called Calendar) supports 
categories. The only conduit/application that has a chance of syncing 
this information is Palm Desktop. I don't believe that any other 
conduit supports syncing of Calendar in its entirety. Other conduits 
can talk to Calendar through a "shim" that palmOne put in, but it will 
only sync the standard stuff, not the category and location 
information.
