Entering data in your Sony CLIE Handheld
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 CLIE software or any other supported
personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook ® , to enter
information. You can then perform a HotSync ® operation to synchronize the
information on your computer with the information on your CLIE handheld.
All the main applications on your CLIE handheld are also available in Palm
Desktop for CLIE software and in most PIMs, so you don't need to learn
different applications.
Refer to the Palm Desktop for CLIE software online Help for more
information on entering data on your computer.
To import data from your computer or another handheld
If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets, databases, or if
you want to import data from another handheld, you can transfer the data to your CLIE
handheld and use it without entering data manually. Save the data in a compatible file
format (.csv, .txt, .tab, .tsv, .dba, .aba, .tda, .mpa), import it into your Palm Desktop for
CLIE software, and then perform a HotSync operation to transfer the data to your CLIE
handheld. For details, see “Chapter 3: Exchanging and updating data using a
HotSync
® operation.”
