5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Palm owners, September 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Do Everything with Your Palm Handheld, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This is a brand new edition and it covers all the newer Palms running OS 5, such as the Tungstens and Zires. Very well-written and an excellent choice for new or non-techie users. What I like about this book is that it covers a wide range of things you can do with your PDA, from the basic built-in functions to fairly advanced stuff like downloading your email or surfing the Internet by linking through a cell phone. And it does so in a manner that is easy for beginners without insulting the more experienced user. It also suggests additional programs and services, and tells you where to get them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only Palm book you'll ever need, February 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Do Everything with Your Palm Handheld, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
I bought this book when I bought my Palm Zire 71, and I am absolutely amazed at how much I have learned. The tips in this book alone are worth the price. For instance, I learned that I could Hotsync my Palm with my Yahoo web address book. I learned how to beam entire programs to my friend's Palm. And I learned that I could read books on my Palm, which I had no idea you could do and now love more than anything. The authors really seemed to have fun writing the book, too, and that sense of fun comes through to the reader. So much better than most computer books I've read that are dry and dull. HIghly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Glossed Over Wi-Fi, January 2, 2004
By 
"sweetpeas_treasures" (Upstate New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Do Everything with Your Palm Handheld, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
It is disappointing that, after spending HUNDREDS of dollars on a new Palm, no printed manual is included. How to Do Everything with Your Palm is what Palm should have included with their products. This book is a good read for the first-time Palm owner and offers some new tricks for the experienced user.
Although the cover of the book mentions wireless and shows a Tungsten C very little is written about Wi-Fi - one of the things that drew me to buy this book.
Overall, Dave Johnson and Rick Broida have done a fine job here. They have presented their material in a logical and well-written manner while having a little fun along the way.
