Default iphone sync with palm desktop

PLEASE HELP
I'm getting ready (finally) to buy my iphone but, before I do.......
I use my palm and palmdesktop software for my agenda / calendar and my contacts. Is there a way to sync this info to my iphone and stop using the palm. I do not use outlook.

If this can't be done.... I don't know if I will buy the iphone.....

I'm trying to eliminate gadgets in my purse....
phone / ipod / palm

You will NOT be able to directly sync the iPhone with the Palm Desktop. You will need to use Outlook if you want to be able to sync Addresses and Appointments with the iPhone.

In response to macgirl, clicking on "this search" revealed nothing but "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

It's been a long time since I had a palm, but I believe you can export your calander and Address book and then import it to Outlook (of course you need to have outlook installed, and not Outlook Express).
"Should' be a painless procedure, provided you have everything necessary.

You can also just sync your Palm with Outlook and then sync your iPhone.

If I remember correctly, you'll need to sync your palm with the Palm Desktop first to ensure all your data is saved, then reinstall it and select that you want to sync with Outlook instead of Palm Desktop. As Hawk said, you do need to have Outlook installed.
