Hi Nino,

Please don't write us directly. The mailing list kde-pim@kde.org is a much 
better place for this kind of question. More people may see your message, 
etc. In particular, Dan hasn't been involved with KPilot development for some 
time now -- I don't even know if he still has a Pilot.

KPilot is for Pilots. That's That means devices running Palm OS (tm) versions 
3 (Visors, Palm III, V), 4 (Clie, m50x), or 5 (Clie). There is no intention 
to support other devices at all.

There's a different application, KitchenSync, which intends to support 
everything under the sun as best it can, with a nifty system of plugins. In 
fact, eventually KPilot should become a set of plugins for KS instead, and 
vanish from the picture (but that's going to take quite some time, I think). 
As for supporting the Helio, gosh, I've never heard of it. Basically you're 
going to need a coder who actually _has_ one of these devices and wants to 
sync it in order to get anywhere.
