Your Veer puts HP webOS—a multitasking, gesture-based operating
system—inside a small, beautiful device with a keyboard that you can slide
out whenever you need it. Here are a few highlights of your new
smartphone.
Gestures: On your Veer, you make calls, move around, and manage your
applications and info by making simple gestures either on the touchscreen
or in the gesture area directly beneath the screen. For more information, see
Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick,
(included in the box with your Veer) around with you for reference. Soon
you'll know the most important gestures by heart.

pinch. Carry the Quickstart Guide
Multitasking: You can have many applications open at once and easily
move among them. Go to the Launcher to open apps. See the lineup of your
open apps in Card view. Tap an app to bring it into the foreground and work
with it. For more information, see Open
email or surf the web while on a call.
Just Type: Need to call Ed? Just slide out the keyboard and type ed. If he's
listed in your Contacts, you can get his numbers from the search results. Tap
a number and you've made the call. Just Type works just as fast when you
need to search the web, find info in an application on your smartphone, start
an action such as creating an email message or memo, or update your
status on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. For more
information, see Just Type.
The HP Synergy feature: The HP Synergy feature works in the background
to gather your information from the various online sources where you keep
it and then display that information in a single view on your smartphone.
You can access your info quickly without having to remember where you
stored it.
For example, suppose you have a Google account for personal email,
contacts, and calendar events, and an Exchange account for your corporate
email, contacts, and events. The Email, Contacts, and Calendar applications
on your Veer all provide a view in which you can see information from both
of those accounts in one place—but even though the information is brought
into one view, the sources of that information are kept separate. For more
information, read about linked contacts, layered calendars, and the single
inbox for your email in Contacts, Calendar, and Email.
NOTE See for the current list of online accounts that you can set up on your
smartphone and for information about the behavior of these accounts.
Thanks also to the Synergy feature, in the Messaging application, all your
conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style
view. If you start an IM chat with Ed, for example, you can continue the
same conversation when Ed signs out of IM by sending him a text
message—and you can see it all in the same view. For more information, see
Messaging: All messages in one application.
