Superficial information,

This review is from: How to Do Everything with Your Dell Axim Handheld, Second Edition (Paperback)
This book does not offer what I was looking for, namely some in-depth information on the Axim PDA. There is a lengthy chapter devoted to the stupid games you can play on this device. But I was hoping to learn how (if at all possible) you can create a shortcut to rotate the display. Or how to always have Word and Excel start up at a predefined zoom level. Instead the book tells you how to play BallBreaker.

How to Do Everything with your Handheld Lives up to it's Expectations,

This review is from: How to Do Everything with Your Dell Axim Handheld, Second Edition (Paperback)
This book was very informative and helpful and I would recommend it to others who have handhelds and don't know its full potential. I am not very "follow the directions" literate but the book was easy to follow and step by step for the dummies in all of us!

This review is from: How to Do Everything with Your Dell Axim Handheld, Second Edition (Paperback)
Not a bad book but the Axim is pretty self explanatory without it. It may come in handy if you want to use yours for a GPS or want to add something cool to the CF slot like a camera. Other than that, I probably could have learned just as much surfing the Web for other users.
