Essential Palm Tungsten Operation but Little Else - 2005-03-20
Reviewer Rating:
The Palm Tungsten E comes with a fairly comprehensive electronic manual and this book aims to expand upon the manual by providing ideas, tips and techniques. It starts by explaining basic tasks which can be performed even by someone totally new to a handheld, and then continues by going into detail about the facilities available. The basic applications supplied with the Tungsten such Contacts, Calendar, Taks, Memos are covered in detail with guides and examples on how to make productive use of them and link them together, e.g. adding a 'phone number from a contact into a meeting reminder in the calendar. Further sections detail synchronization, using photos, music and the applications provided on the CD that accompanies the Tungsten E.

The book is certainly useful to someone unfamiliar with a Palm and seeking to exploit its potential. Experienced users might pick up some useful tips, but don't expect any wonderful revelations, interesting hacks or undocumented features.

There are a number of drawbacks. I found the disjointed layout style very unhelpful. The third-party CD applications are not covered in any great detail. Several pages are more or less advertisements for Palm accessories and software - it may be useful to know that these exist, but paying for this material is just irritating.

Highly recommend this book! - 2005-10-08

This book is so full of tips and tricks! I had NO idea that my Tungsten E2 could even do most of the things listed in this book. Very easy to read, but it will take you forever, because you have to try out every trick - which actually makes it a great learning experience. I highly recommend this book!

Great source of information, put together in an easy-to-understand format. I am still finding all kinds of new things that I can do with my handheld.
