Decent, as far as it goes,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Palm OS Developer's Guide (Paperback)
The title and book description are both misleading, and frankly, I think deliberately so, given that the book does _NOT_ even attempt to address Palm development. This is _NOT_ a Palm OS developers guide at all, it is a Palm Web Clipping develoepr's guide. If that's what you're looking for it's not a bad resource.

This review is from: Palm OS Developer's Guide (Paperback)
This book covers web-clipping and related topics almost exclusively. It is in NO way an overview of Palm Programming. I had to return my copy. The Palm OS Bible is vastly superior.

Faxes from my Palm,
By Sara Dant (Univ of Wash) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Palm OS Developer's Guide (Paperback)
The book showed me how to send faxes from my Palm OS device--within applications and Web clippings ... Very easy ... I'm using the capability in several Web pages for my sales folks.
