I would be a lot more willing to put more effort into getting my data into gpe if I was sure of a reasonably easy way of not only backing it up, but moving/copying it into other apps as needed. As I tend to do that a lot, ease of import and export is a very big deal for me. What I'm saying is that for me, it's not a matter of a one-time import and then I'd be done. It would be a constant process of import and export, and therefore those processes are critical to whether or not it's worth it to me to use the app. For me, the ideal import/export method is csv files. I never had a problem with import or export with either my Visor Deluxe (Palm OS) or my Psion Series 5. It was always quick, painless and accurate. And no, "syncing" is not the answer. I need to be able to work with the data much more directly than that.
