Palm Desktop Software
Palm Desktop software includes the same main applications as
your Smartphone. Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo
Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can use the
HotSync feature of this software to back up and exchange data
between your Smartphone and your computer.
It’s a good idea to back up your data in case something happens
to the data on your Smartphone. Changes you make on your
Smartphone or Palm Desktop software appear in both places
after you synchronize.
With Palm Desktop software, you can do the following:
• Work with your Smartphone applications on your computer.
Palm Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address
Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad applications on your
Smartphone, so that you can view, enter, and modify any data
stored on your Smartphone.
• Back up the data stored on your Smartphone with HotSync
technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop
software. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures
your data is always safe and up-to-date. See “Exchanging and
Updating Data: HotSync Operations” in Chapter x for more
information.
• Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from
other desktop applications into any of your main applications.
See “Importing Data” in Chapter x for more information.
• Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad
information on any printer.
