on the PalmPilot or PalmPilot Desktop will be reflected on both
platforms after a HotSync. HotSync only synchronizes the needed
portions of files, thus reducing HotSync time.
The HotSync Manager oversees the process, which can be
accomplished directly with the PalmPilot organizer’s Cradle or with
a modem. The HotSync Manager runs in the background,
monitoring a communications port on the PC, “listening” for a
HotSync command from a PalmPilot. The HotSync Manager will
