Getting Started
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing a TOSHIBA Pocket PC. Due to the size
and capabilities of this Pocket PC, you can keep your most important
business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand.
Microsoft
® ActiveSync ® increases the power of your Pocket PC by
allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop
computer with your Pocket PC. Picture yourself in the following
situations:
■ While walking with a colleague, your cellular phone rings and your
manager asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency
meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer,
you press a button on your Pocket PC and instantly see a list of
today’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell your
manager your available times. For more information on scheduling
appointments and meetings, see Chapter 4.
■ You’re meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You
download the latest movie information from the Internet to your
desktop computer and then synchronize it with your Pocket PC. At
dinner, you pull out your Pocket PC and review your movie options
with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to
your Pocket PC, see Chapter 6.
■ A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You
grab your Pocket PC and catch the bus just in time. Because
ActiveSync keeps the information on your Pocket PC up-to-date, you
leisurely review your task list, make notes about the new books and
CDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messages.
When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task
changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message responses
to your desktop computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see
Chapter 3.
