Details for tweaking your settings to improve performance:
Only download the first 5k of each message
Don’t check mail automatically

Go to
Log in using your CEC username and password
Enter internal URL in Address window, or use a bookmark or do a keyword search
Example:

Recommended approach:
Find application using Google, Treonauts.com, Palmgear.com, Treocentral.com, etc.
Download file (usually .zip for PC users) to desktop machine
Unzip/Unstuff
Launch .PRC file
Synch
Launch application on handheld for final installation/configuration
Also possible to do directly from handheld, but not recommended (could lose purchased file before synching)

10. Get More Out of Your Treo

11. Lecture: Turn Your Treo into a Personal Audio Recorder
Apps Tested:
P.A.R.
Too hard to navigate
SoundRec
Limited features
PalmDictate
Poor SD support
Audacity ?
mVoice
Best of all worlds

12. Lecture: Turn Your Treo into a Flash Drive
Procure an SD card to store data
Cisco Procurement part # = TBD, $TBD
Install Card Export II to mount SD card as a USB Mass Storage Device
URL:
Also need Synch & Charge cable for pushing data to foreign machines
OR:
Procure the Bonzai USB/SD adaptor for foreign computer access via USB
Cisco Procurement part # = TBD, $TBD

13. Advanced Techniques & Tips

15. Demonstration: Dictation, Transmission, Transcription
Use mVoice to dictate memo
No need to speak slowly (see below)
Send sound file to assistant
If short, send from Treo as Mail attachment
If long, upload file from SD card to desktop using CardExport II (or USB card reader), then send as attachment with desktop
Have assistant transcribe message using transcription software (allows for easy pause/restart of sound file with keyboard controls while transcribing):
Express Scribe (PC) URL:
Listen&Type (PC & Macintosh) URL:

16. Hands-on Exercise: Use Phone and PDA Simultaneously
Example: Dial voic system
Place call on speaker by clicking “Speakerphone”
Calendar
While phone call is still active, check your calendar
Memo
While phone call is still active, take notes
Note:
Can’t use voice & data connections simultaneously

17. Demonstration: BlueTooth Synching
On Desktop machine, synch everything as often as possible
Problem: Frequent calendar updates (many per day)
Solution: Wireless synch (of sorts)
First, set up MeetingMaker synching on laptop (no other synchs enabled – this is for a desktop+laptop user)
Next, switch to BlueTooth (need to perform pairing operation)
Result:
BlueTooth from Handheld to Laptop
WiFi from Laptop to MeetingMaker server
Can use at home, or in any WiFi-enabled location
Note that calendar synching will be much easier in an Exchange / GoodLink environment
