+Several applications support beaming files in a format specific to that application (specifically, Contacts, Calendar,

+Documents tab. To beam a file from the Documents tab, you must first add that file to the Documents tab if you
+havent already (see <xref linkend="adddoc">). Then, go to the Documents tab and press and hold on the icon for
