Clear, Concise Picture Book on PDAs,
This review is from: Palm & Handspring PDAs for Visual Learners (Paperback)
Take the "for Visual Learners" part of the title seriously. This book seems to be 90% illustrations. Very clean and clear, not a lot of detail. This book and the PDA itself would be enough to learn your way around the machine. It might even make a good way to introduce some folks to computers. Know someone who got one of these PDAs for Christmas and isn't sure what to do with it? Give them this book. Keep it handy for a step by step, illustration by illustration walk-through of the basic functions of the PDA.

Good for Beginners,
By Pam Barber (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Palm & Handspring PDAs for Visual Learners (Paperback)
A very good resource for the "newbie" to PDAs. A lot of visuals to help learn the basics. Quality pictures/illustrations make each part very clear. A little heavy on visuals for my liking but still a quality resource. Organization and content is great! A great gift to go with a new PDA for someone!

Palm & Handspring PDAs for Visual Learners,

This review is from: Palm & Handspring PDAs for Visual Learners (Paperback)
As the title states, this book is designed for visual learners. The style and the layout of the book includes clear and concise screen shots of various PDA devices. By using minimal text, readers should be able to easily follow the examples of the various PDA tasks. This book would be particularly helpful for self-directed learners and people like me who do not have a lot of time to read a huge book or manual in order to learn how to use the basic features of a PDA. The book would also be very useful in workshop or other training situations, partucularly for novice PDA users.
