16.3 Cellular Phones and PDAs

A desktop system or a laptop can communicate with a cellular phone via Bluetooth or
IrDA. Some models support both protocols and some only one of the two. The usage
areas for the two protocols and the corresponding extended documentation has already
been mentioned in
of these protocols on the cellular phones themselves is described in their manuals.
The support for synchronizing with handheld devices manufactured by Palm, Inc., is
already built into Evolution and Kontact. Initial connection with the device is, in both
cases, easily performed with the assistance of a wizard. Once the support for Palm Pilots
is configured, it is necessary to determine which type of data should be synchronized
(addresses, appointments, etc.). For more information, see GNOME User Guide
(↑GNOME User Guide) and KDE User Guide (↑KDE User Guide).
A more sophisticated synchronization solution is available with the program opensync
(see packages libopensync, msynctool and the respective plug-ins for the different de-
vices).
