CHAPTER 20 Sharing Information
Using the Send command
You can send information from within an application—such as a photo or video, a contact, or an
appointment—to other Palm OS
®
handheld users. You can also send a category of information or
even an entire application.
You can use the Send command in many applications to send information wirelessly using one
of the following methods:
• Using the built-in Bluetooth
®
wireless technology on your handheld
• As an attachment to an email message
• As part of a text message
Sending information from within an application using
Bluetooth technology
You can use your handheld’s built-in Bluetooth technology to send information directly to another
handheld that includes Bluetooth technology. You must be within range of the receiving handheld
to send information using Bluetooth technology. The maximum range is approximately 25–30 feet
(8–10 meters); however, the shorter the range, the more quickly and accurately you can send
information.
Before You Begin
[ ! ]
You must complete all
the prerequisites for the
messaging
application.
To use your handheld’s
built-in Bluetooth
wireless
technology, you must set
up a phone connection. To
use it with your handheld’s
IR port, run Phone Link
Updater, and then use the
Phone Link application to
set up a phone connection.
Did You Know?
You can also easily send
information from the
desktop component of
many applications. For
example, you can send
photos from the Media
desktop application. See
the online desktop help for
information.
Tip
If you are unable to send
information to another
handheld, try moving
closer to the receiving
handheld.
