EMERGING MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES
T7071

You have all the latest equipment to stay connected on the road: laptop, cell phone, Blackberry for text-messaging, and a Palm(PDA) to record your memos and appointments. But when you try to "synchronize" them with your computer back home, it's "device not found," or "no Bluetooth devices in range," or it asks you the "field-map" between databases.Designed to increase your knowledge of emerging mobile technologies by discussing devices such as smart phones, PDAs, Blackberries, and iPods. Embracing these gadgets sounds great, but often these new technologies can be tough to configure. Topics include: synchronizing with MS Outlook (Email & Calendar / Time Management, etc.), accessing your home or office computer from your laptop, wireless protocols, mobile searching, and security of mobile devices. We'll explore impediments to file sharing, such as firewalls, incompatible file formats, even how to "map" those info fields while importing address books or contact lists. Synchronizing methods via firewire and Bluetooth will be explored, hands-on and in depth.
