| | O'Reilly: News -- My Love Affair with the PalmPilot |
 | | The key insight of the PalmPilot developers, which seems to have been lost on other hand-held developers, is that a PDA is not a replacement for a PC, but a supplement to it--a peripheral, if you will. |
 | | Simply slip the PalmPilot into a cradle connected to the PC serial port (or with the Palm III, use the infrared port and skip the cradle entirely), press one button, and "hotsync" your data in seconds. |
 | | Anything entered onto the PalmPilot is transferred to the PC; anything entered into the PalmPilot desktop is transferred to the PalmPilot--names, addresses and phone numbers, appointments, memos, new applications to be installed or removed--you name it. |
