Getting to Know Your Palm Pre – Part 2

What is Quick Launch?
Quick launch comprises the four applications displayed across the bottom of your the  Palm Pre  screen.

By default, you will find the following applications displayed from left to right:

Phone – opens your phone application
contacts – show all of your contacts
email – show all of your email accounts
calender – show all your calendars

…and of course the Launcher (far right).

Tap the Launcher icon to displays all the applications and preferences on the  phone.

Note: You can replace the default applications with your personal favorite.

What is Palm Synergy?
Suppose you have information from various sources that you want to display on the Phone, Palm Synergy take this information and organize or  layer them in  a simple logical view so that you can understand them at a glance…similar to what’s shown here in the screen display.

Setting Up Your Google Acccount
Simply tap the Email icon. This should take you to the Add An Account page.

If it doesn’t, then tap Email, then Preferences and Accounts, and finally Add an Account.

When the Add an account page appears, type in your Google email address and your password, then tap Sign In.

The new account now appear in your list of In Boxes, your contacts in the Contact application, and your schedule events in your Calender…all synergized.

Keep Up With Your Facebook Friends
To keep up with your Facebook friends, simply tap the Contacts icon. This should take you to the Add an Account page. If it doesn’t, tap Preferences and Accounts, then finally Add an Account.

Next, tap Facebook and enter the email address that you use to sign in to your Facebook account, and your password.

Tap sign-in and your Facebook friends will appear as contacts on you Pre.

Go to Calenders and your facebook events will be there as well.

That’s it for now. Part 3 will continue later…
