Chapter 7 : Email, text, multimedia, and instant messaging 29
The HP Synergy feature provides another advantage: During the same
process you go through to set up a messaging account, you also set up
the same account for all other applications that can display data from that
account.
For example, suppose you want to set up your Google Talk account on
your smartphone. The last step in setup is to select all the other apps that
you want to receive data from your Google account (besides Messaging,
you can include Contacts, Calendar, and Email). After setup is complete,
your smartphone begins to download your messages and all data for all
other apps you selected for synchronization.
