  • an act of establishing a first connection to a first PDA;

    an act of accessing a first data subset in a server database, the first data subset corresponding to the first PDA;

    an act of initiating transfer of the first data subset to the first PDA over the first connection, the first data subset for updating a first client database at the first PDA;

    an act of establishing a second connection to a second PDA, prior to the first connection being terminated;

    an act of accessing a second data subset in the server database, the second data subset corresponding to the second PDA;

    an act of initiating transfer of the second data subset to the second PDA over the second connection, the second data subset for updating a second client database at the second PDA; and
