Is it a USB cradle? If so, have you tried just downloading Palm software for
Mac from Palm, plugging it in and seeing what happens? I have a Kyocera 7135
Palm phone. I never even bothered checking to see what was on the CD that
came with it. Microsoft has a conduit for syncing with EntourageX. Unless
there's something funky about the i500, it ought to work like any other
Palm.
