OVERVIEW OF HP PALMTOP PC PRE-INSTALLED APPLICATIONS

The software programs on your palmtop PC have been specifically developed for this computer. Many of them are similar, “pocket-sized” versions of those running on your desktop computer. Information can be exchanged between the software programs running on your palmtop PC and those running on your desk- top computer. In this way you can take advantage of both the portability of your Handheld PC and the power and storage capacity of your desktop computer.

Information Manager for Windows CE

Track contacts, manage your schedule, and organize tasks with the three components of Information Manager: Contacts, for keeping phone numbers and ad- dresses; Calendar, for scheduling appointments and events; and Tasks, for keeping track of your to-do list. If you are using a Microsoft desktop Information Manager like Outlook, you can update the information in Information Manager by synchronizing contacts, appointments, and tasks with your palmtop PC.

Microsoft Pocket Word

Take notes, compose memos, and review reports anytime, anywhere. You can create and edit files in Pocket Word, and then print them via infrared or transfer them to Microsoft Word on your desktop computer for printing. You can also take Microsoft Word documents on the road, then convert and copy your documents back to your desktop computer.

Microsoft Pocket Excel

Calculate expenses, create reports, or manage data using this application. You can do spreadsheet computing while you’re away from your desktop computer.

Microsoft Pocket PowerPoint

Carry your slides and even make full-color PowerPoint presentations from your palmtop PC if you have a VGA-out card which is available for seperate purchase as an accessory.
