Consider carefully whether you want to be able to access and change your
data somewhere besides your phone. If you do, do you prefer the other
means of access to be a website (for example, Google), or to be software

up to a Palm server; so in an emergency—for example, you lose your phone,
or it's stolen—you can remotely erase the data from the phone and later
restore the data to a new Palm
