Data Transfer Assistant
A tool that allows you to do a one-way transfer of information such as
contacts and calendar events from a desktop organizer to your phone. See
Data transfer.
drag
A slow movement of the finger up or down on the touchscreen.
flick
A very fast skimming of the finger horizontally or vertically on the
touchscreen.
gesture area
The strip beneath the touchscreen that you use to perform the back gesture,
among others. Some gestures you begin in the gesture area and complete
on the touchscreen, for example, the slow drag that displays
when you have an application filling the screen.
Launcher
A group of screens displaying all your applications. To open the Launcher,
tap in Quick Launch, or flick up twice from the gesture area to the
screen. If you are in Card view, flick up once from the gesture area to the
screen to open the Launcher. In the Launcher, swipe up, down, left, and right
to see all your apps. Tap an app icon to open it.
linked contact
A contact containing information from more than one source. For example,
if you have a work contact in Exchange ActiveSync and a personal contact
for the same person in Google, the Contacts application automatically
recognizes the connection and links the two contacts so that you can see all
the information in one place—but the information is kept separate in the
different accounts where it originated. You can also manually link and unlink
contacts.
merged view
A feature on your phone that displays data from several sources in a single
view, but keeps the sources of your data separate.
Let's say you use Google calendar for your personal events and your
company's Outlook calendar for business events. Your phone's Calendar
application displays events from both calendars in a single view, called All.
182 Terms
Likewise, if you set up multiple email accounts, the Email application
displays the messages from all your account inboxes in a single view, called
All inboxes. And in Messaging, all your messages with a person show up in a
single conversation view, whether they are text, multimedia, or instant
messages. See also
notification
A message that appears at the bottom of the screen alerting you of an
incoming or missed call; voicemail, email, or text messages; an upcoming
event; and more. In most cases, you can tap a notification to act on it. See
also dashboard.
online account
An account that you have with an online service such as Google or
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. You can synchronize contacts, calendar
events, and email between your phone and many of your online accounts.
Quick Launch

keyboard keys. Press once to enter a single character. Press twice to lock the

press and hold
cursor in text.
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 Palm
phone). Your Palm profile also identifies the location on the web where the
data you store in your Palm Profile account is backed up. (You cannot see or
change this data on the web, however.) See also
Palm profile account
An account that is automatically set up for you when you create your Palm
profile. You can assign contacts and calendar events to it. 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
