    ETTING STARTED
    Welcome
    Congratulations on purchasing a Compaq iPAQ H3000 Windows 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. Microsoft
    Ò 
    ActiveSync
    Ò increases the power of your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC by allowing you to syn-
    chronize 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)
    .
