ABOUT THE SYNCHRONIZATION

MyPersonalDiet is a standalone app. The synchronization is an additional feature that reconciles data on both your iPhone and your PC to let you use VidaOne Diet & Fitness on your PC to track, analyze and review your data, something that cannot be achieved via iTunes backups.

The synchronization reconciles data by merging record changes. This is also how iTunes synchronizes appointments and contacts with Microsoft Outlook. This approach is far more powerful than file synchronization where one set of changes overwrite the others, leading to data loss in synchronization.

There are however limitations inherent to the iPhone design that change the way 3rd-party synchronization operates:

- The synchronization with VidaOne Diet & Fitness can only be achieved via Wi-Fi (not via USB cables).

- Data cannot be shared among 3rd-party applications, so if you are using other VidaOne apps on your iPhone, each must be synchronized with VidaOne Diet & Fitness.

Although these limitations make the synchronization different than on Windows Mobile or Palm OS, it nonetheless reconciles the data as expected.

The synchronization does not affect the normal backup operations done by iTunes.
