Product Description

At last! A Palm guide that offers plenty of useful information but doesn't significantly outweigh the Palm itself. New York Times computer columnist David Pogue has updated the most useful "hacks" and software recommendations from his best-selling book PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide and added previously undocumented tips and tricks to create this slim, indispensable Palm Pocket Guide. The Palm Pocket Guide provides a no-fluff resource for power users of every handheld device running the Palm OS. And just like the PDAs it documents, this handy little book is easy to take anywhere. The Palm Pocket Guide covers:

• Web sites - online smorgasbords for useful third-party add-ons for your PDA
• Beyond the Basics - OS features, graffiti cheat sheet, remapping buttons and keystrokes, launcher replacements, and speed enhancements.
• Hardware - From Bluetooth (802.11b) to cards and gadgets, Sony hi-res screens, and HandSpring innovations
• HotSync, Email, Surfing and Chatting
• Justifying your PDA's existence - All the stuff you never knew you could use it for!
