I've had a Palm since the mid-'90s and in 2010-04, got an iPhone. Switching over was a lot of work. I have five hundred contacts (with lots of notes and birthdays) eight hundred memos, hundreds of web and other passwords, and about a hundred to-dos.
Here's a list of Palm applications, and what I've replaced them with on the iPhone:
