8 Chapter 1 : Welcome
For example, suppose you have a Google account for personal email,
contacts, and calendar events, and an Exchange account for your
corporate email, contacts, and events. The Email, Contacts, and Calendar
applications on your HP TouchPad all provide a view in which you can
see information from both of those accounts in one place—but even
though the information is brought into one view, the sources of that
information are kept separate. For more information, read about linked
contacts, layered calendars, and the single inbox for your email in
Contacts, Calendar, and Email.
NOTE See Online accounts available for webOS devices for the current list of
online accounts that you can set up on your device and for information about
the behavior of these accounts.
Sync: Your HP TouchPad gives you synchronization without a cable. You
can sync with online services so that you can store and sync your info in
online accounts. For more information, see Get data from an online
account in the cloud.
Your HP webOS Account: When you set up your device, you create an HP
webOS Account by entering a valid email address. Use this account to
create and store contacts and calendar events. Your HP webOS Account
also gives you access to services like automatic updates and automatic,
frequent backups of any of your info that is stored only on your device
and isn’t synchronized with an online account (see What information is
backed up?).
Touch to Share: If you have a web page open on your HP TouchPad or on
a webOS smartphone, simply touch the devices to transfer the page from
one device to the other. If your smartphone and your HP TouchPad use the
same HP webOS Account, you can also touch the two to create a
Bluetooth pairing between them. After the devices are paired, not only
can you touch to share web pages, but you can also make and receive
calls, and send and receive text messages, right on your HP TouchPad
(see Touch to Share).
WARNING Please refer to Important safety and legal information for
information that helps you safely use your device. Failure to read and follow the
important safety information in this guide may result in property damage,
serious bodily injury, or death.
