IR HotSync operations

Your handheld is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports
the IrCOMM implementation of the standards for infrared
communication established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA).
This means that not only can you beam data to another Palm OS
handheld that’s equipped with an IR port, but you can also beam data
to a mobile phone and any other device that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the IrDA standards.

Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync
operations; you don’t need your cradle/cable. This is especially useful
if you travel with an infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable
infrared communication on your laptop and handheld and follow the
steps in “Performing an IR HotSync operation” later in this section.
