Your 4GB Hard Drive

Program memory and the hard drive

Your device contains two types of storage: program memory and the 4GB hard drive.
0
Program memory Your device includes 64MB of program memory
®
for Palm OS
Memos. Information in the program memory is automatically
updated when you do a full sync. For example, if you enter contact
information on your computer, you can synchronize to update the
info in Contacts on your device.
The info for each Palm OS application—for example, individual contact entries—may be stored in
your device's program memory. You can view and work with this information from within the
application itself. You cannot, however, view any info stored in program memory directly using
Files or LifeDrive Manager.
0
Hard drive The 4GB hard drive works similarly to other standard
USB drives. You can store any type of file, folder, or application on
this drive. View and access the contents of the drive using the Files
application on your device, or view the contents using LifeDrive
Manager (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows) on your
computer. You can manage items on the drive in various ways:
copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so on, by using LifeDrive
Manager (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows), or Files on
your device.
When you copy a file or folder from your computer to your device using LifeDrive Manager, you
can choose to synchronize that file or folder.
Another method of storage that you may already be familiar with is an expansion card. You can
view and access files or folders on an expansion card using the Files application on your device,
and manage your files on a card using LifeDrive Manager or Drive Mode.
