3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, as far as it goes, August 22, 2002
By FredZarguna "adeveloper" (Boalsburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleadingly named, April 9, 2003
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faxes from my Palm, May 16, 2002
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.
