Palm profile: A Palm profile gives you access to services like automatic updates, backup of
your data, and more. You create a Palm profile by entering a working email address during
initial setup of your phone. See “Set Up Your Phone” on page 18. Your Palm profile also
identifies the location on the Web where the data you store in your Palm profile accounts is
backed up. (You cannot see or change this data on the Web, however.) See also “Palm profile
account” on page 294.
Palm profile account: An account you can use to assign contacts and calendar events you
create on your phone. Palm profile items are included in the daily backup of information to
your Palm profile but do not synchronize with any of your online accounts. See also “Palm
profile” on page 294.
pinch: A gesture used to go in for a close view (zoom in) or see a larger view (zoom out). To

index fingertips apart on the touchscreen, and slowly bring them together.
