Basic Applications Overview: Using the Address Book
Adding and Using Address Book Entries
The Address Book application stores name and address information about people or businesses.
A record in Address Book is called an entry. You can
create entries on your handheld, or you can use the Palm™ Desktop
software to create entries on your computer and then download them to your handheld with your next HotSync
®
operation.
Palm Desktop software also has data import capabilities that let you load database files into the Address Book on your handheld.
See Palm Desktop online Help for more information.
