Setting up e-mail accounts on your iPod touch or iPhone
You may choose an iPod classic to play music and videos on the road, but you may also find it useful for viewing the personal information — contacts, appointments, and events — that you manage on your home or office computer. The iPod classic, nano, and older models offer one-way synchronization of personal information from your computer to the iPod. (The iPod shuffle doesn't hold personal information, so this chapter isn't relevant for it.)
The iPod touch or iPhone can take care of all aspects of your digital life: It can send and receive e-mail, keep track of your calendar, sort your contacts, and save bookmarks to all your favorite Web sites as you browse them. You can also add personal info directly to your iPod touch or iPhone, and synchronize that information back with your computer, which is two-way synchronization.
If you're a road warrior, you may want to fill your iPod or iPhone with your personal information. This chapter shows you how.
