CHAPTER 3
Moving and Managing Info Between
Your Handheld and Your Computer
You can do a lot with your handheld on
its own: enter or look up a contact,
write a memo, keep track of your
appointments. But you can do much
more when you share, manage, and
work with information between your
handheld and a computer.
Your handheld includes a large internal
drive so that you can carry more of
your documents, folders, photos, and
music with you. View, create, or work
on files on your handheld, then copy
the updated version back to your
computer. Or use your handheld at any
computer to access and work on your
files.
