Chapter 1: Getting Started
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing your Pocket PC. Its compact size and powerful features and
functions let you keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and
close at hand. Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
increases the power of your Pocket PC by allowing you to
synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your Pocket PC. Picture
yourself in the following situations:
• While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and the boss 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 Pocket PC and instantly see a list of today’s appointments
and meetings. You are quickly able to tell the boss 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 desktop computer and then synchronize it with your
Pocket PC. At dinner, you pull out your Pocket PC and review your movie options with your
friends. For more information on downloading Web pages, see Chapter 7.
• A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Pocket PC and
catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your Pocket PC 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
desktop computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see Chapter 3.
