Hi Angus,

Do you know what sort of progress has been made on two-way conversion (fuss OR no fuss)? 

My desktop situation is getting out of hand.  I tried to use BrainForest exclusively in order to have good Palm compatibility, but the UI is bad enough that I find myself constantly giving in to the temptation to create outlines in OO or Tao for their better capabilities, telling myself "don't worry, I won't need this one on the Palm" only to later decide I need that data on my Palm for whatever reason.  And then on the other side BrainForest's desktop product is a roach motel.  I can't even copy/paste paragraphs that are in the note section of an outline, and the notes pop-up is a modal dialogue so I can't even retype the notes into top level bullets without taking a screenshot!

Do you know if there a reasonable way to import OPML data into a decent palm app?  Then I could stick with OO and/or Tao on the desktop when I don't need "instant sync" such as BF.

Thanks in advance for any update.
