Version History

General info:

RecoX is a tool to keep databases on two Palm devices in synchronization. It uses infrared communication to beam records that have changed since the last synchronization to the other device. It cooperates with the build-in applications (Datebook, MemoPad, Addressbook and To-Do) as well as a few others and is independent of other synchronization tools.

Latest Version

You can always download the latest version of RecoX at Palmgear. Just click on the button below to go there.

The latest stable version at the moment is 1.4.2. It can be downloaded and tested for a two week trial period. The new version is free for registered users. New users will have to register RecoX for US$9.95 per user, or US$19.90 for a two-user license.

If you live in Austria, Germany, Spain, Sweden or the UK, you can also register RecoX by using the Paybox service. Just transfer the amount of €9.95 per license to the following Paybox:

Paybox
+49-000-MY RECOX
(+49-000-6973269)

Then send an email containing:
  • your name
  • the user name for each device you purchased a license for
  • your paybox number
to recox@palmobil.de to receive your registration codes.

Please be aware that synchronization between two individual Palms is not a trivial task and that RecoX may not work the way it's intended for you. Therefore I recommend you use the full evalutation period before you register the program.
