computer or your device. When you sign in to your
device with a Windows Live ID, your pictures, contacts,
OneNote notes, calendar, and email will be
synchronized:
䢇 on your device
䢇 on your PC
䢇 on the Web (using any computer with an Internet
connection)
After you sign in, you can quickly capture things while
you’re away from your computer and then share,
organize, edit, or archive them for later. Items you might
access this way include pictures, notes, appointments,
contacts, grocery lists, story ideas, quotes, and other
things to remember.
Note: If you already have an Xbox LIVE or Zune account,
