CHAPTER 1

Basics

Whether you’re at work, at home, or on

the go, you’ll quickly understand why

handhelds are also called personal

digital assistants (PDAs). Like a good

personal assistant, your handheld

helps you keep track of your schedule,

your business and personal contacts,

your to-do list, your memos, even your

Microsoft Office and multimedia files.

Your handheld helps you stay

productive—carrying important files

and documents—and connected—

offering wireless access to email, text

messages, and the web. And when you

just want to relax and have fun, use

your handheld to view digital photo

and video albums, listen to music, play

games, and more.
