CHAPTER 22

[ ! ] Before You Begin

You must complete all the prerequisites for the messaging application.

To use your device’s built- in Bluetooth wireless technology, you must set up a phone connection. To use it with your device’s IR port, run Phone Link Updater, and then use the Phone Link application to set up a phone connection.

Did You Know?

You can also easily send information from the desktop component of many applications. For example, you can send photos from the palmOne™ Media desktop application. See the online desktop help for information.

Tip

If you are unable to send information to another device, try moving closer to the receiving device.

Sharing Information

Using the Send command

You can send information from within an application—such as a photo or video, a contact, or an appointment—to other Palm OS® device users. You can also send a category of information or even an entire application.

You can use the Send command in many applications to send information wirelessly using one of the following methods:

•Using the built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology on your device

•As an attachment to an email message

•As part of a text message

Sending information from within an application using Bluetooth® technology

You can use your device’s built-in Bluetooth technology to send information directly to another device that includes Bluetooth technology. You must be within range of the receiving device to send information using Bluetooth technology. The maximum range is approximately 25–30 feet (8–10 meters); however, the shorter the range, the more quickly and accurately you can send information.
