Sending data using e-mail or SMS communication
In addition to beaming data, you can also use e-mail or SMS communication to
send information to and receive information from other devices.
To use your handheld for e-mail communication, you need to perform a HotSync
operation with your computer, use a Bluetooth local area network (LAN) access
point or modem, or use a mobile phone. For more information, see Chapter 17.
To use your handheld for SMS communication, you need a Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM) phone (sold separately) and you need to establish
a connection with your GSM mobile phone. For additional information about
connecting to your GSM phone, see Chapter 14. For additional information about
sending SMS data, see Chapter 15.
Using your computer keyboard
If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can
use Palm Desktop software or any supported personal information manager
(PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook, to enter information. You can then perform a
HotSync operation to synchronize the information on your computer with the
information on your handheld. Many of the applications that came with your
handheld are also available in Palm Desktop software and in most PIMs, so you
don’t need to learn different applications. For more information on entering data
on your computer, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software and the Palm
Desktop Software for the Macintosh User’s Guide on the Desktop Software CD-ROM.
Importing data
If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets and
databases, or if you want to import data from another handheld, you can transfer
the data to your handheld without having to type it. Save the data in one of the file
formats listed in the next section, import it into Palm Desktop software, and then
perform a HotSync operation to transfer the data to your handheld.
