Getting to know your Palm VII handheld
What is a Palm VII handheld?
With your Palm VII handheld you will no longer have trouble getting
to meetings and appointments on time, remembering people’s names
and personal details, or tracking all the items on your To Do list. Your
handheld can help you improve your track record in all these areas,
both at work and at home.
You can enter all your schedule details in Date Book so you can view
them by the day, week, or month, and you also have an agenda view
for displaying current events and To Do items at the same time. Keep
all your contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details
in Address Book, so you can find them as soon as you need them. Add
your tasks to To Do List, prioritize them so you don’t overlook them,
and assign them a due date.
You can easily connect your Palm VII handheld to the Internet,
without using a wire or an external modem, through a wireless
communication service maintained by Palm, Inc. Using web clipping
applications, you can access a wide spectrum of information available
on the Internet and view that information in a format that is easy to
read on your handheld screen. Another application, the iMessenger
®
application, gives you an Internet messaging address; so you can use
your handheld to stay connected by wireless Internet messaging
anytime, anywhere within the coverage area of the wireless
communication service.
