Whether you're using a Tungsten T3 with its glorious high-res screen or the No. 1-selling, under-$100 Zire, the heart of your handheld remains the same: the mighty Palm operating system!

Using clear, step-by-step instructions peppered with plenty of visual aids, Jeff quickly brings you up to date and up to speed on all that's new in the rapidly changing world of Palm Cobalt and Palm Garnet devices: the ability to synchronize data with Apple's iApps (iCal, Address Book, iMovie, iTunes, and iPhoto) and Microsoft Entourage; support for high-res screens in tablet designs; rich graphics and multimedia features; and more. After learning how to use Palm's built-in applications, you'll quickly discover the breadth of what you can accomplish using today's Palm-based organizers—snapping photos, communicating wirelessly, recording sound, and more!
