Welcome
Congratulations on your selection of our Palm-size PC.
Your new Palm-size PC comes with Microsoft Windows CE preinstalled, which means
it can be used in conjunction with a Microsoft Windows based personal computer.You
can use the Palm-size PC’s powerful software capabilities to take along the latest
version of your appointments, contacts, and other data, while using your desktop or
laptop for major input and editing work.You can even send and receive e-mail while
on the go.
Picture yourself in the following situations.
• You’re on a business trip and receive valuable feedback from an important client.
You can use Calendar to schedule a meeting with your colleagues back at the office.
Next, you can use Contacts to look up e-mail addresses and send messages
informing everyone about the meeting.
• You’re at a meeting taking notes and drawing diagrams with Note Taker. Afterwards,
you send copies of your notes to your colleagues by attaching them to an e-mail
message. When you get back to the office, you clean up and edit your notes after
uploading them to your desktop computer.
• While driving home from work, you suddenly remember two or three important
phone calls you need to make the first thing tomorrow. While stopped at a red light,
you reach for your Palm-size PC and use Voice Recorder to record a reminder for
later playback.
• You’re meeting friends for dinner and a movie tonight.You use Internet Explorer 4.0
on your desktop computer to get the latest movie information, which you then
download to your Palm-size PC. Later over dinner, you use your Palm-size PC to go
over the movie information with your friends to decide which movie you want to
see.

new Palm-size PC in your daily life. In addition, there are a number of other additional
