Getting to know your WorkPad c3 companion

What is a WorkPad c3 companion?

With your WorkPad c3 companion you will no longer have trouble
getting to meetings and appointments on time, remembering people's
names and personal details, or keeping track of all the items on your
to do list. The WorkPad c3 companion can help you improve your
track record in all these areas, both at work and at home.
You can enter all your schedule details in Date Book so you can view
them by the day, week, or month; you can even set an alarm to remind
you of important meetings. Keep all your contact names, addresses,
phone numbers, and other details in Address Book, so you can find
them as soon as you need them. Add your tasks to To Do List,
prioritize them so you do not overlook them, and assign them a due
date.
To make sure you do not lose any of this important information, you
can synchronize your data with Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad on
your computer so you always have a backup copy. You can set
different levels of security for your WorkPad c3 companion so
unauthorized eyes cannot view your data.
When you are out of the office, track your expenses for your expense
reports; then transfer the data to your computer to print it out. You can
write, edit, and view your e-mail, and then synchronize your e-mail
with your desktop E-Mail application when you return to your office.
