Improvements / Changes in Pronto Software version 3.6 + vCards compared to software version 3.6 or 3.6.6
========================================================================================================

The smal Software update "UpdvCards_for_Pronto_V3.6" adds some system files into an existing version 3.6 in Pronto! v3, which adds a new feature to the contacts application. 
This allows you to add easily contacts which you get as vCard (vcf File) to your Pronto contacts. Or you can save all or selected Contacts of Pronto as vCard file to exchange with other devices.  

Important: This package is no full version and requires an installed software version 3.6 or 3.6.6 on your Pronto! V3 device. 
Individual settings like email accounts, Wlan configuration, masks or additional installed reading voices remain unchanged and are not lost. 
After you have installed the update, you find this what-is-new file in folder Flashdisk/Edit. Thus you can read about the new feature directly in Pronto.
