CHAPTER 3 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer
Program memory and the internal drive
Your handheld contains two types of storage: program memory and the internal flash drive.
Program memory Your handheld includes 55MB of program memory for Palm OS
®
applications
and information. If an app or information is located in your handheld’s program memory, you can
view and access that information, as well as information associated with that application that is
stored on the internal drive. You cannot, however, view the info directly using Files
or palmOne™
File Transfer.
Information in the program memory is updated during synchronization. For example, if you enter
contact information on your computer, you can synchronize to update the info in Contacts on your
handheld, and any future updates to the info are included in synchronization.
Internal flash drive The 160MB internal drive works similarly to any other removable external
drive. You can store any type of file, folder, or application on this drive on your handheld. View
and access the contents of the internal drive using the Files application on your handheld, or view
the contents using File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode
(Mac) on your computer. You can
manage items on the internal drive in various ways: copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so
on using File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac), or Files on your handheld. You can also
use File Transfer to save the contents of the internal drive
to your Windows computer.
Another method of storage that you may already be familiar with is an expansion card
. You can
view and access files or folders on an expansion card using the Files application on your
handheld, and manage your files on a card using File Transfer or Drive Mode.
You can also access the files on the internal drive or on an expansion card by opening the
corresponding application and browsing to the file.
Did You Know?
The internal drive saves
information on your
handheld permanently.
Even if the battery drains
completely, none of your
information is lost.
Simply recharge to
access the information
again.
