What is HotSync/synchronization?
Synchronization is the process of exchanging data between your handheld and your PC or Mac computer. HotSync is a synonym for synchronization used by manufacturer Palm. Synchronization allows you to download into your PDA emails, documents, web materials and other useful information from your computer, and you can also transfer data, such as new contacts, notes or appoints, from your PDA to your computer. Pay attention to how your PDA will synchronize. Some use standard parallel ports, while others use USB for faster downloads or even infrared ports that require no hookups. Many PDAs come with docking cradles that both synchronize with the computer and recharge the PDA’s batteries.
