Using your computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard,
you can use Palm™ Desktop for Sony software or any supported PIM to
enter information. You can then perform a HotSync
® operation to
synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your
Sony handheld. All the main applications on your Sony handheld are also
available in Palm Desktop for Sony software and in most PIMs, so you
don't need to learn different applications.
Refer to Palm Desktop for Sony online Help for more information on
entering data on your computer.
Importing data
If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets and
databases, or if you want to import data from another handheld, you can
transfer the data to your Sony without having to key it in manually. Save
the data in one of the file formats listed below, import it into Palm Desktop
for Sony software, and then perform a HotSync operation to transfer the
data to your Sony handheld.
Palm Desktop for Sony handheld software can import data in the following
file formats:
• Comma delimited (.csv, .txt): Address Book and Memo Pad only

• CSV (Lotus Organizer 2.x/97 Mapping): Address Book only

Desktop for Sony information.
