Chapter 1 Introduction to Your Handheld Palm Desktop software Palm Desktop software extends many of the functions of your handheld to your computer and serves to back up all your data. Viewing and editing your data using Palm Desktop software is optional. However, when you use it with your handheld and the built-in HotSync technology, you can fully synchronize the information on your handheld with the information on your computer. It is a good idea to back up your data in case something happens to the data on your handheld. Changes you make on your handheld or Palm Desktop software appear in both places after you synchronize. With Palm Desktop software, you can do the following: s Work with your handheld applications on your computer. Palm Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad applications on your handheld, so you can view, enter, and modify any data stored on your handheld. (You cannot modify Note Pad data in Palm Desktop software.) s Back up the data stored on your handheld with HotSync technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop software. Synchronization is a onestep procedure that ensures your data is always safe and up-to-date. See "Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations" in Chapter 5 for more information. s Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other desktop applications into Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad. See "Importing data" in Chapter 2 for more information. 12
