About Memo Pad You can use Memo Pad to jot down any type of text, for example, your ideas, meeting agendas, and phone call memos. Memos appear in the Memo Pad application on your handheld after you perform a HotSync® operation. Creating a memo Create a memo when you want to store information that needs to be tracked, followed up on, or kept in a central location. For example: s s s s Family medical histories Meeting action items Serial numbers and registration numbers Directions to places you visit infrequently Since a memo can contain up to 32KB of information, memos are better for long entries than the Comments field in an address card. The capacity of the Comments field is only 256 characters. IMPORTANT Memos on your handheld are limited to 4KB of information.
