Getting Started
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing your Toshiba Pocket PC. Due to the size
and capabilities of this device, you can keep your most important busi-
ness and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft ®
ActiveSync ® increases the power of your device by allowing you to syn-
chronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your
device. Picture yourself in the following situations:
• While walking with a colleague, your cell 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 device 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 down-
load the latest movie information from the Internet to your computer
and then synchronize it with your device. At dinner, you pull out your
Toshiba Pocket PC device and review your movie options with your
friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your
device, see Chapter 6.
• A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You
grab your Toshiba Pocket PC device and catch the bus just in time.
Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your device 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 mes-
sages. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any
task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message re-
sponses to your computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see
Chapter 3.
