Chapter 1: Getting Started Welcome Congratulations on purchasing your Toshiba Pocket PC. Due to the size and capabilities of this device, you can keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft® ActiveSync® increases the power of your device by allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your device. Picture yourself in the following situations: • While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and your manager asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your device and instantly see a list of today's appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell your manager your available times. For more information on scheduling appointments and meetings, see Chapter 4. • You're meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet to your computer and then synchronize it with your device. At dinner, you pull out your Toshiba Pocket PC device and review your movie options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your device, see Chapter 6. • A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Toshiba Pocket PC device and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your device up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list, make notes about the new books and CDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messages. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message responses to your computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see Chapter 3. 15
