The PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and Blackberry has become a daily essential tool for most businesses. The ability to synchronize your contacts, calendar and email on the go allow for increased freedom and accessibility.

However most freedoms come with a small price. Here's a tip that will save you any additional monthly fees.

If you have a cellphone that has bluetooth, you're already half way there! You'll need a bluetooth adapter (~$30) and some software (~$free - $60).

Once configured, you'll be able to synchronize your contacts and calendar (sorry, no email). Yes! That means not ever having to reenter phonebooks with new cell phones, or having to use your keypad to enter in names. Further, your phone can now alert you to calendar events with a ring, or beep.

So to recap, you'll need.
- A cellphone with Bluetooth
- A bluetooth adapter ($30, at most computer stores)
- software (available at the manufacturers website)

Here's a couple of links to get you started.
Nokia PC Suite
Motorola Phone Tools

In August of 2005, the United States Congress passed the Energy Policy Act. The Energy Policy Act changes the start dates and the end dates of daylight saving time (DST). When this law goes into effect in 2007, DST will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007 and end one week later on November 4, 2007. These dates are referred to in this article as the "extended DST period."
