68 Chapter 6 : Email, text, multimedia, and instant messaging
The HP Synergy feature (see Your HP TouchPad) provides another
advantage: During the same process you go through to set up a
messaging account, you also set up the same account for all other
applications that can display data from that account. For details on how
Synergy works for the current list of online accounts, see Online accounts
available for webOS devices.
For example, suppose you want to set up your Google Talk account on
your device. The last step in setup is to select all the other apps that you
want to receive data from your Google account (besides Messaging, you
can include Contacts, Calendar, Email, and Documents). After setup is
complete, your device begins to download your messages and all data
for all other apps you selected for synchronization.
