I think it's a great idea. Even just the merge portion w/o the web is a
great idea. I've been wanting the ability to merge, especially though the
IR port. My wife and I both have palms and keep the same db's of our books
and movies, it would be great to be able to update them seperately and then
merge them together. I include a 'own/want/loaned' column so we also list
ones that we don't have but want, if you don't already have that in the
plan, it would be a good addition.

Yeah I am thinking of making it truely customizable so people who dont need a
loan section dont need it or if they need new sections that are not in the
default that they would be easy to add in and use. In my opinion this will bring
it eventually up and beyond just a movie database and could have many other
practical applications.
I am thinking the IR sync part though is going to need to be done using yet
another program or a modification to pilot-db to get it done as I think the
exchange right now is not a sync but more like a download and replace type.
Anyone who has exact details please feel welcome to provide any information.
