You can add even more functionality to your HP Jornada by installing 
additional software and programs. A wide variety of software is available for 
Windows for Pocket PC, ranging from custom business applications and 
system utilities to games and entertainment. Some programs are available on 
the CD-ROMs included with your HP Jornada. Other programs are available 
from software vendors or on the Web.  
 The only programs that will run on your HP Jornada are those designed 
specifically to run on Windows for Pocket PC. You cannot run programs 
designed for Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, or NT on your HP Jornada. In 
addition, you may need a version of the program designed specifically for the

Microsoft Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and 
Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example, 
e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages 
in Inbox.

Microsoft Exchange on your desktop PC with information in Pocket Outlook on 
your HP Jornada. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the 
changes you made on your device and desktop PC and updates both 
computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, 
see ActiveSync Help on your desktop PC. 
In this chapter, you will learn to
