Why Connect My Device To My Computer - Palm Treo 700p User Manual

Why Connect My Device to My Computer?

You can enter or change information on your device or on your computer (using
Palm® Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows), and then
synchronize to automatically update the information in both places, so there's no
need to enter it twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your device
and your computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed
up) in both locations.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization
software on your computer and connect the sync cable to your computer.
