Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing a Toshiba Pocket PC. Due to the size and capabilities
of this Toshiba 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 Toshiba Pocket PC by allowing you to synchronize the information on your
desktop or laptop computer with your Toshiba 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 Toshiba 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 computer and then synchronize
it with your Toshiba Pocket PC. At dinner, you pull out your Toshiba Pocket PC
and review your movie options with your friends. For more information on
downloading Web pages to your Toshiba Pocket PC, see Chapter 6.
■ A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your
Toshiba Pocket PC and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the
information on your Toshiba 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 computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see Chapter 3.
