track of contacts, Pocket Outlook features integrated calendar
and email functions.
Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all
of your PC's Outlook information (via USB, IR, or Bluetooth

with their laptop or PDA can tap the unit's wireless modem
capabilities (Cingular data plan charges apply). In addition to

edit documents on the go. A calculator, alarm clock and voice
memo recorder round out the tools package.

media functions, you can store digital music files and easily
exchange them with your PC. The included Windows Media Player 10
