The invention may be embodied in a disk drive for use in a mobile device. The mobile device may be a hand held computing device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or a mobile terminal such as a cellular telephone. The mobile device includes a host processor for accessing data on the disk drive. The disk drive has a rotating disk media surface and a moveable read/write head disposed over the media surface. The disk drive includes a first data storage zone on the disk media surface for storing data on first data tracks using a first track pitch, and a second data storage zone on the common disk media surface for storing data on second data tracks using a second data track pitch. The first data track pitch is substantially wider than the second data track pitch.

The invention may be embodied in a disk drive for use in a mobile device. The mobile device may be a hand held computing device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or a mobile terminal such as a cellular telephone. The mobile device includes a host processor for accessing data on the disk drive. The disk drive has a rotating disk media and a moveable read/write head disposed over the disk media. The disk media is divided into a first data storage zone and a second data storage zone. The data storage zones are radially disposed in discrete areas of the disk media and each zone has a plurality of tracks for storing data. The mobile device may write data to the first data storage zone when the mobile device is in a mobile environment. The mobile device may write data to the second data storage zone only when the mobile device is in a non-mobile environment and may not write data to the second data storage zone when the mobile device is in a mobile environment.

The invention may be embodied in a method for operating a disk drive in a mobile device to optimize power usage. The mobile device may be a hand held computing device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or a mobile terminal such as a cellular telephone. Immediately after responding to a disk access command, the disk drive is in first operating mode that consumes a relatively high level of power and may transition to a second operating mode that consumes a relatively low level of power. A transition from the second operating mode to the first operating mode consumes a transition quantity of power. A predictive technique tracks a user's usage pattern and adapts an operating mode transition time based on the usage pattern.

A method and apparatus for remotely synchronizing a mobile terminal to a target computer is disclosed. A user's operation of the mobile terminal is monitored and a computer program is executed for adapting ordering and filtering synchronization rules in response to the user's operation of the mobile terminal to generate a modified set of synchronization rules. Synchronization data is exchanged between the target computer and the mobile terminal using the modified set of synchronization rules.
