This new version includes many of the great features of the Hormonal Forecaster on a Palm handheld platform to allow users to enter and view their data anywhere. These include fertility graphs, ovulation charts, data input capabilities, category event predictions, and personal note records. By synchronizing with the desktop version of the Hormonal Forecaster, one can take advantage of the advanced computational analysis of the desktop version. The desktop and palm versions work together to keep data up to date, backed up, and readily accessible. The desktop version even offloads some of the computations to ease the processing burden placed upon your handheld. In this way, synchronizing not only backs up your data, but improves the calculations performed on your Palm device.
