Have you ever had to meet friends at a certain time, so everyone needed to synchronize their watches? Synchronizing simply means that information that has been entered or updated in one place is automatically updated in the other. And just as your watches can be synchronized, you can synchronize information—such as photos or contacts—on your handheld with information on your computer.

If you use your handheld only on its own and never synchronize it with your computer, then you aren't taking full advantage of your handheld. You can do much more with your handheld if you synchronize it with your computer.
