`
`Bill Weber was the best boss that anyone could wish for. He treated with
`me with respect, allowed me to take risks, kept my ego in check when things
`went well, and supported me without hesitation when things went bad. It is
`no surprise that Bill became a goodfriend and mentor. In some of the most
`important moments of my life—when I got married and whenIfirst started
`writing these books—Bill provided encouragementthat carried me through
`anxiety and doubt.
`
`All of us who called Bill a friendfeel he passed away too soon. Few days go
`by when I don’t remember something that he said. Nothing pleases me more
`than to share my memories of Bill with you, and this book that you are about
`to read and whichBill helped me write.

`
`Introduction
`
`What’s in a name? Overthe yearssinceit first released softwarefor handheld devices, Microsoft
`has changed the software namethree times.First it was Windows CE,then Windows Powered, and
`now Windows Mobile Software.
`Regardless of the names, the software remainstrue to its Windows heritage, enabling us to
`use handheld computers in much the same way that we use desktop computers. Critics claim that
`the Windowsuserinterface was never designed for, and therefore not appropriate for, handheld
`computers. Whatthecritics overlookis the powerof familiarity that enables one to pick up a Pocket
`PC and Smartphoneanduseit right away.
`Windows Mobile devices help youinteractin different ways with a variety of information.
`Think aboutall of the information that is importantto you. It might be appointments, addresses,
`bank accountbalances, or documents. It might even be voice recordings, web pages, videoclips,
`or music.
`Manypeople have turned to personal computersto help them keep trackofall this different
`information. But, there is a problem with personal computers. Mostsit on tables and desks at
`home, yet we mightneed the information they contain when weare sitting in a meeting or out
`shopping. With a Windows Mobile device, that information can be taken out of the computer
`so it’s with you at any time and anywhere. And when you return home,that information can be
`easily updated to your personal computer.
`Pocket PCs, Pocket PC Phones, and Smartphones are part of a series of hardware devices
`that run the Microsoft Windows CE .NET operating system and application software. Also in the
`series are the Handheld PC, Auto PC, and embedded devices. Microsoft calls the series Windows
`Mobile devices. The combination of Windows CE .NET and application software is known as
`Windows Mobile Software for Pocket PCs, Pocket PC Phones, and Smartphones.
`These are incredibly powerful little devices that you can use for work and play. In How to Do
`Everything with Windows Mobile, | show you howto use the latest Windows Mobile Software
`tocreate documents and spreadsheets, check off those items on yourtask list, and then relax to
`the soundsof yourfavorite music. If there is something that you wantto do with a Pocket PC or
`Smartphone, this book will show you howto doit.
`Part I provides the information that you needto get started with Windows Mobile. Chapter1
`Provides an overview of the devices that make up the Windows Mobile platform to help you decide
`which iStightfor you, Thenstartingin Chapter 2, I walk you throughsetting up your Pocket PC,
`Petsonalizing your Pocket PC, changing Pocket PC settings, and setting up Smartphones.

`
`How to Do Everything with Windows Mobile
`
`Part I, “Connect with PCs,” provides instructions for moving information from your personal
`computerinto the device. Chapter 6 shows you how to connect Windows Mobile devices with
`personal computers, and in Chapter 7 you learn how to use the ActiveSync software to synchronize
`data so that whatis stored in Microsoft Outlook on your PC also appears in Outlook Mobile on
`your device. As that information changes, synchronization ensuresthat it is the same on both the
`PC and Pocket PC or Smartphone.
`The Internet has become a very important tool for retrieving and exchanging information,
`and Part III, “Get Connected with Windows Mobile,” providesall the instructions you need
`to connect to and use the Internet. Windows Mobile devices can connectto the Internet using
`landline and wireless modems, mobile phones, and wired or wireless local area networks.
`Once the connection is made, you can send and receive e-mail, chat with friends using instant
`messaging, and browse any website.
`Part IV, “Make the Most Out of Windows Mobile,” focuses on how you will use your Windows
`Mobile device every day. You will use Outlook Mobile to manage your appointments, addresses,
`and tasks, and Office Mobile to create documents and spreadsheets. I also providetips for using
`yourdevice at the office and when you are traveling. And when you are ready for a break, you can
`install and play one of the many games available for Windows Mobile. In Chapter 19, you learn
`how to expandthe functionality of your Pocket PC or Smartphone with software and hardware.
`A numberof special elements have been added to help you get the most out of this book:
