Palm Organizers : Visual... | Buy

The Palm OS is leading the push into the next stage of portable computing, and the guide that's been there since the beginning is back to introduce users to the next generation of Palm-based wonders. With a new operating system that accommodates a wide range of more powerful processors, today's Palm devices are about more than simply eliminating paper-based sticky notes and to-do lists-and Palm Organizers, 3rd Edition: Visual QuickStart Guide covers it all. Using clear, step-by-step instructions and plenty of illustrations, best-selling author Jeff Carlson shows readers how to use Palm's built-in applications and then reveals the breadth of what users can accomplish with today's handhelds. Beginners will find just what they need to start organizing their lives effectively, and more advanced users will learn how to go beyond the built-in applications to touch the ceiling of the Palm's potential: software and hardware that will allow them to view movies, take pictures, record sound, and communicate wirelessly.
