Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing an iQue
®
M5! Using your new iQue M5, you can keep your most important business and personal
information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
increases the power of your device by allowing you to
synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your device. Picture yourself in the following situations:
• While you are walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings, and your manager asks if you two are free this afternoon for
an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your device and
instantly see a list of today’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 3.
• You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet
to your desktop computer and then synchronize it with your device. At dinner, you pull out your iQue M5 and review your
movie options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your device, see Chapter 7.
• A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your iQue M5 and catch the bus just in time. Because
ActiveSync keeps the information on your device 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 desktop computer. For more
information on ActiveSync, see Chapter 2.
