With Palm Desktop software, you can do the following | 3Com TRGpro

TRGpro handheld computer: Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can use the HotSync feature of this software to back up and exchange data between your personal computer and handheld computer.

It is a good idea to back up your data in case something happens to the data on your handheld computer. Changes you make on your handheld computer or Palm Desktop software appear in both places after you synchronize.

With Palm Desktop software, you can do the following:

■Work with your handheld computer applications on your computer. Palm Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad applications on your handheld computer, so you can view, enter, and modify any data stored on your handheld computer.

■Back up the data stored on your handheld computer with HotSync technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop software. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures your data is always safe and up-to-date. See “Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 4 for more information.
