HP Jornada is your mobile computing companion. Several valuable features allow you to stay organized and in touch while you’re on the road. For instance:

•The HP Jornada viewer application displays PIM data (contacts, calendar, and tasks) at a glance, allowing you to navigate to or view the data you need immediately. You can even view notes attached to appointments.

•The HP Jornada dialup application leads you through the steps required to configure a dial-up connection and to access your e-mail and the Web. When you are ready to connect, just use the convenient dialup window on your HP Jornada desktop.

•The HP Jornada quick pad provides a convenient place to jot down notes, names, telephone numbers, and other data for short-term storage. Information can be saved in quick pad for fast retrieval or sent to the appropriate database for long-term storage.

•The HP Jornada backup application can back up and restore information to/from an optional CompactFlash Card or PC Card, safeguarding against loss of data while you are on the road—even if power is lost.
