Choosing when to import
Typically, you import when you want to transfer a large amount of
information from your computer and maintain the information on your
Newton device. For example, you might have a list of customer names you
want to add to your Newton Names application.
However, if you have information you want to keep current on both your
Newton device and your computer (for example, your appointment calendar),
you may prefer to synchronize instead of import. For more information, see
Chapter 7, “Synchronizing Information.”
