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!

Palm Organizers Visual QuickStart Guide - 2000-08-24
Reviewer Rating:
This is an excellent book that will transform the reader from novice to near-power user. The author details the product offerings, basic features, more advanced features, and third party offerings that increase the value of the Palm. With this book as a primer, I knew exactly what I was doing when I first picked up a Palm.

I scanned the Palm For Dummies book before settling on this book. In my opinion, the Dummies book was comparatively confusing and overly brief.

New 4th Edition Now Available - 2004-12-15

Jeff Carlson here. I want to point out that a new 4th edition of the book is now out, but Amazon's search engine doesn't always bring it up (this was a problem with the 3rd edition, too). Look for ISBN #0321287665.

Up-to-date complete reference - 2004-11-17
Reviewer Rating:
This is a complete reference for PalmOS PDAs. The form is a step-by-step walkthrough of each function. Each page is cut in half with text on one side explaining the screenshots on the other side of the page. The chapters go through each function from managing contacts, using the calendar, reading and writing email, to surfing the web and synchronizing with your Mac or Windows box. This is very thorough and up-to-date book for Palm users who like the step-by-step approach that is thick with screenshots.

Good organizer book - 2009-08-30
Reviewer Rating:
I found the book a good guide for the organizers that I wished to use on my Palm Tungsten. Sometimes the explanation did not exactly fit my device but the guide gave me information I could use to do what I wanted to do. A good guide to get more out of the Palm device.

Just what I was looking for - 2006-08-01
Reviewer Rating:
The book worked very well to get me up to speed quickly without making me read every page and understand every feature of my new Zire.
