Learning about HP Jornada
Hewlett-Packard has taken mobile computing to new levels of
compatibility and convenience. With HP Jornada, you’ll
notice many benefits not found in other, similar computers.
For example you can:
•
Move the data you already have on an older palmtop or
handheld PC to your HP Jornada. You can transfer
information from older Windows CE devices and even
some non–Windows CE devices. (See the Transferring
PIM data from older palmtop PCs section in
chapter 3.)
•
Use e-mail without a modem. Conveniently send e-mail
automatically when you synchronize with your desktop
PC. (See the Synchronizing data section in chapter 3.)
•
Take more data with you. A desktop Microsoft Word file
may take up to 85 percent less space on your HP Jornada.
(See the Transferring files section in chapter 3.)
•
Send voice messages to friends and colleagues—even those
who do not have Windows CE devices. You can save voice
messages in the compatible Wave audio format. (See the
Recording voice memos section in chapter 4.)
•
Keep Word, Access, and Excel files stored at work and at
home synchronized. Update any file in any location, and
once you synchronize, the file will be updated in every place
it is stored. (See the Synchronizing data section in
chapter 3.)
•
Read online news and information while offline, or down-
load Web pages for viewing later. (See the Browsing the
Web section in Chapter 6.)
•
Work any time, any place, with up to 7 hours of battery
life. (See the Managing battery power section in
chapter 3.)
