3.1 Using Queries

Queries let you quickly find handheld devices that match criteria specified in the query.
Using queries, administrators can save time by automatically creating handheld groups populated
with handheld devices that have the same attributes.
For example, you can create a group from a query that contains all devices that have:
A specific processor type (for example, Intel* StrongARM)
RAM greater than 8 MB but less than 64 MB
A specific version of an application installed
You can define separate queries for BlackBerry, Palm OS, and Windows CE devices, but you cannot
create a single query that returns all types of devices.
