What information is synchronized?
When you install Palm Desktop software from the software installation CD, a conduit is installed to
your computer for each of the following applications. The conduits allow you to transfer
information between the application on your handheld and the corresponding application in
Palm Desktop software when you synchronize:
Information from Expense and Media is synchronized on Windows computers only.
During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook on
your computer (Windows only). If you do, info from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is
synchronized with info in the same application in Outlook (Memos is called Notes in Outlook).
Information for Expense, Note Pad, and Media is still synchronized with the same application in
Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time to choose synchronization with Outlook
if you did not do so during the initial installation.
You can also set up the VersaMail
®
application to synchronize with Outlook.
You can synchronize more than one handheld with your computer. For example, family members
can all synchronize their handhelds with the same copy of Palm Desktop software. Just make sure
that each handheld has its own username; the desktop software reads the username and
recognizes the handheld during synchronization. Loss of info may occur from sharing the same
username.
