Palm organizers

If you thought you knew everything there was to know about Palm OS-based devices, think again! With the introduction of Palm OS 5, the handheld universe has expanded exponentially, and Palm Organizers, 3rd Edition: Visual QuickStart Guide is here to explain it all: the enhanced processing power, the amazing multimedia capabilities, the wireless connectivity options, and more-plus all of the organizational tools that have allowed Palm OS-based devices to change the face of portable computing. From the shockingly inexpensive ($99) Palm Zire to the high-end Tungsten line (which features, among other things, a built-in microphone for quick voice memos and integrated Bluetooth wireless connectivity), this guide takes a visual, task-based approach to all things Palm.

Using clear, step-by-step instructions and plenty of illustrations, best-selling author Jeff Carlson demonstrates how to use Palms built-in applications, and then reveals the breadth of what you can accomplish with todays handhelds. Beginners will find just what they need to start organizing their lives effectively, and more advanced users will learn how to go beyond the built-in applications to touch the ceiling of Palms potential. Now you can communicate wirelessly, take pictures, record sound, and even shoot movies-all from a device that fits in your palm.
