GETTING STARTED

Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing a Compaq iPAQ H3000 WindowsÒ Powered Pocket PC.

Due to the size and capabilities of your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC, you can keep your most

important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. MicrosoftÒ

ActiveSyncÒ increases the power of your iPAQ H3000 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 your manager asks if the

two of you are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague

fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your iPAQ H3000 and

instantly see a list of the day’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 (Microsoft Pocket Outlook).

•

You’re meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest

movie information from the Internet onto your computer then synchronize it with your

iPAQ H3000. At dinner, you pull out your iPAQ H3000 and review your movie

options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your

iPAQ H3000, see Chapter 6 (Pocket Internet Explorer).

A calendar reminder alerts you that it’s time to catch the bus to work. You grab your

iPAQ H3000 and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information

on your iPAQ H3000 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 informa-

tion on ActiveSync, see Chapter 3 (Microsoft ActiveSync).
