CHAPTER 1
Exploring Your Handheld
Whether you’re at work, at home, or on
the go, you’ll quickly understand why
handhelds are also called personal
digital assistants (PDAs). Like a good
personal assistant, your handheld
helps you keep track of your schedule,
your business and personal contacts,
your to-do list, your memos, and your
photos.
Handhelds are for fun, too. You can
take pictures and create digital photo
albums, play games, and read eBooks.
Insert expansion cards (sold
separately) to listen to music and audio
books, or to enjoy useful reference
software and more.

Zire™ XX handheld

• Stay organized
