The Barnes & Noble ReviewPalm, Handspring, Qualcomm pdQ smartphone, and beyond: How To Do Everything With Your Palm Handheld delivers 600 pages of soup-to-nuts coverage — and it's a blast to read.
If you're just getting started with your Palm handheld, they'll walk you through setup, getting your PC or Mac ready, and getting information in and out, including beaming appointments, contacts, memos, tasks, and whole applications. There are detailed chapters on each Palm mini-app: date book, address book, to do list, memo pad, expense, and so forth.
There's a full chapter on taking your Palm on the road. (It'll set off the metal detector at the airport, and don't forget to turn off appointment alarms that might turn it on at the start or end of your flight, when all electronic devices are supposed to be turned off.) You'll find detailed coverage of the Palm VII and its cool wireless features, a full chapter on the cool new Handspring Visor, and a full section on communications: wireless and landline modems, email, instant messaging, web browsing, faxing, and more.
From Graffiti tips to money management, third-party software to troubleshooting, this book will make using your Palm an even more rewarding experience than it already is.
