Synchronizing information Synchronizing simply means that information that has been entered or updated in one place-your Palm® Treo™ 700wx smartphone, your computer, or your corporate server-is automatically updated in the other. There's no need to enter information twice. Some kinds of synchronization can happen on an automated schedule, so you don't even have to think about it. After you get into the habit of synchronizing regularly, you'll know what a powerful tool synchronization is for transferring, updating, and backing up large amounts of information on your smartphone. Benefits • Quickly enter and update information on your computer and your smartphone • Protect your information • Send photos and videos to your smartphone from your desktop computer CHAPTER 4
