Great Help for a New Pocket PC Owner

I bought the McPherson book shortly after buying my Jornada Pocket PC. This book is a must have for new handheld owners. It is very easy to understand and helps you become familiar with this incredible device. The book introduces you to functions that the owner's manual does not mention and in much greater detail. Illustrations are helpful. The book is well worth the money. I highly recommend the book and know that I will refer back to it in the months ahead. Before buying, I compared it to the Idiot's Guide and thought that this one was better, i.e., much more thorough.

Must Have Book

For anyone trying to justify to your spouse how you just spent big bucks for a Pocket PC, this is a "must have" book. It makes up for the non-existent book that never came with the pocket pc and it tells you how to make the most of all the bells and whistles that your "new toy" can do. I'm not sure whether my spouse is really impressed with my growing knowledge of the pocket pc but it gives her an excuse to buy that expensive purse she always wanted, anyway. . . .
