■ Set an alarm to use your voice memos as reminder messages.

■ Assign your voice memos to categories so that you can organize and view them

in logical groups.

■ Synchronize with your computer using Palm™ Desktop software and

send them as e-mail attachments.

■ Share voice memos with other people when you use the Send or Beam

commands.
