How to Do Everything with Your Palm Handheld, Fourth Edition

It is a good way to iniciate and learn to used the palm PC.

Better than others of its kind, but still basic

This is for a new or unsophisticated user of Palm OS devices. There really isn't anything here that can't be found in the Palm reference manual or in the online Palm forums. But everything is presented in a crisp manner with more than adequate illustrations. And it really does cover literally everything the average user can do with the Palm OS. Someone new to Palm or those who have hesitated to explore the boundaries of the Palm OS will find this book helpful, more helpful than many others of the same kind. Jerry

Glossed Over Wi-Fi

It is disappointing that, after spending HUNDREDS of dollars on a new Palm, no printed manual is included. How to Do Everything with Your Palm is what Palm should have included with their products. This book is a good read for the first-time Palm owner and offers some new tricks for the experienced user.Although the cover of the book mentions wireless and shows a Tungsten C very little is written about Wi-Fi - one of the things that drew me to buy this book.Overall, Dave Johnson and Rick Broida have done a fine job here. They have presented their material in a logical and well-written manner while having a little fun along the way.
