Your application and info management tools

Synchronization is a great way to transfer, update, and back up info on your Palm® Treo™ 755P smartphone. Synchronizing simply means that info you entered or updated in one place (your smartphone or your computer) is automatically updated in the other. There’s no need to enter info twice.

Expansion cards (sold separately) provide a compact and limitless storage solution. When one card becomes full, simply use another card to carry your extra music and video clips and to install and run cool games and other software, from dictionaries to travel guides.

Benefits

•Locate info in your applications with the Find feature

•Install applications, games, and other software

•Quickly enter, update, and protect your info on your computer and your smartphone

•Store, carry, and exchange info
