CHAPTER 5 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
such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos. 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.
The info for each Palm OS application—for example, individual contact entries—may be stored in
your handheld’s program memory, or it may be stored on your handheld’s internal flash drive. You
can view and work with this information from within the application itself. You cannot, however,
view any info stored in program memory directly using Files
or palmOne™ File Transfer.
Internal flash drive The 160MB internal drive works similarly to other standard USB removable
drives. 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, including
information in the
program memory, even if
the battery drains
completely—none of
your information is lost.
Simply recharge to
access the information
again.
