What is Palm

 DualDate

With 

Palm

 

DualDate

 

you and another Palm handheld user can share your calendars.  

 
Currently the Palm Date Book contains a single calendar. Palm DualDate

 

enhances the 

Palm

 

Date Book by allowing you and other Palm DualDate users to send, receive, and synchronize your 
calendars. This enhancement also lets you view the two calendars side-by-side on your handheld. 
 
Palm DualDate adds these features to your Date Book: 
 

 

Beam your calendar to another Palm DualDate user 

o

Option to share Private events (displayed as “**private** with no detail) 

o

Option to limit data beamed to only today’s and future events 

 

 

Receive another person’s calendar 

o

Receiver cannot modify events on shared calendar 

o

Replace the shared calendar with a different shared calendar 

o

Delete the shared calendar 

o

Alarms are not shared 

 

 

View two calendars together 

o

Your calendar and the shared calendar are displayed side-by-side in Day View and 
merged in the Week, Month, and Agenda Views 

o

Switch between single calendar and dual calendar display by tapping the active calendar 
view icon 

o

Events are easily distinguished on both color and grayscale devices in Day and Week 
View 

 

 

Synchronize shared calendars with other Palm DualDate users 

o

After sharing your calendar with other DualDate users, you update their copy of your 
calendar by beaming it to them again.
