Palm Installation Tool
Palm Desktop software comes with an
installation tool that enables you to transfer
Palm OS apps (PRC and PDB) to your
smartphone that you downloaded from the
web to your computer.
Partnership
Two Bluetooth devices—for example, your
smartphone and a hands-free device—that
can connect because each device finds the
same passkey on the other device. Once
you form a partnership with a device, you
don't need to enter a passkey to connect
with that device again. Partnership is also
known as paired relationship, pairing,
trusted device, and trusted pair on some
devices.
PIM (personal information manager)
A genre of software that includes
applications such as Palm
software, Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes,
and ACT!. PIMs generally store contacts,
schedules, tasks, and memos.
Quick key
A letter that you can press and hold to
activate a favorite app. For example, create
a speed-dial button for your mother's
number and enter the letter M for "Mom"
as the Quick Key. Then when you want to
call her, press and hold M. Your
smartphone dials the number.
SMS
The service that exchanges short text
messages almost instantly. Text messages
are typically sent to a mobile phone
number, rather than to an email address
(although this too is possible). These
messages can usually include up to 160
characters; messages with more than 160
characters are automatically split into
several messages. You can send and
receive SMS messages while you are on a
voice call.
® Desktop
Streaming
Technology that enables you to access
media content—for example, watch video
or listen to an audio program—directly
from the Internet on your smartphone
without needing to download a file to save
on your smartphone.
