CHAPTER 5
Synchronizing Your Handheld
with Your Computer
Have you ever had to meet friends at a
certain time, so everyone needed to
synchronize their watches?
Synchronizing simply means that
information that has been entered or
updated in one place is automatically
updated in the other. And just as your
watches can be synchronized, you can
synchronize information—such as
photos or contacts—on your handheld
with information on your computer.
If you use your handheld only on its
own and never synchronize it with your
computer, then you aren't taking full
advantage of your handheld. You can
do much more with your handheld if
you synchronize it with your computer.
Benefits of synchronizing
• Quickly enter and update information
on your computer and your handheld
• Install applications and files
• Protect your information
• Send photos and videos from your
handheld to your computer
