example, you can quickly enter a contact list on your computer and then send it to your handheld
instead of re-entering the information.

and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. Other information, such as photos, videos, voice
memos, and notes, is synchronized with Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time
to choose synchronization with Outlook if you did not do so during the initial installation.
