GETTING STARTED

Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing a Compaq iPAQ H3000 Windows® Powered Pocket PC. Due to the size and capabilities of your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC, you can keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft® ActiveSync® increases the power of your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC by allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your Pocket PC. Picture yourself in the following situations:

•While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and your manager asks if the two of you are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your iPAQ H3000 and instantly see a list of the day’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 (Microsoft Pocket Outlook).

•You’re meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet onto your computer then synchronize it with your iPAQ H3000. At dinner, you pull out your iPAQ H3000 and review your movie options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your iPAQ H3000, see Chapter 6 (Pocket Internet Explorer).

•A calendar reminder alerts you that it’s time to catch the bus to work. You grab your iPAQ H3000 and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your iPAQ H3000 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 messages. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message responses to your computer. For more informa- tion on ActiveSync, see Chapter 3 (Microsoft ActiveSync).
