| SYNOPSIS |
3Com's PalmPilot is the world's bestselling handheld computer, with 80 percent of the palmtop market. About the size of a playing card, the PalmPilot is a fast, elegant, lightweight organizer with a touch screen. PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide is the bestselling Palm book of all time - the bible for Palm users. This newly expanded edition is dense with time-saving tips, surprising tricks, and secret Easter eggs; the new CD-ROM contains over 3,100 Palm programs. This second edition covers all models through mid-2000, including the color Palm IIIc, Palm IIIx and IIIxe, Palm IIIe, Palm V, and Palm Vx, and Palm VII, and reviews clones such as the Handspring Visor and IBM WorkPad. New chapters show you how to check web pages or email with the wireless Palm VII, synchronize Palm database and spreadsheet files with your PC, and master 1999's long-awaited MacPac 2.5. New tutorials include writing your own Palm VII web-search applets and syncing the PalmPilot with Linux/Unix machines.
Inside you'll also find:
- A getting-started tutorial, including undocumented alternatives to the built-in Graffiti handwriting-recognition alphabet.
- Details of the HotSync process - one-touch, two-way data synchronization with a Macintosh or Windows PC.
- Crash course on the four PalmPilot web browsers and six email programs - plus guidelines for printing, paging, faxing, infrared beaming, and using your PalmPilot as a TV remote control.
- Troubleshooting, upgrading, and accessorizing your palmtop - taking it far beyond the designer's original expectations.
With cooperation of Pam Computing and 3Com, bestselling author David Pogue succinctly answers every conceivable question, unlocks features most Palm users never suspected, and radiates the fun, passion, and sense of community shared by Piloteers the world over. This book's CD-ROM contains over 3,100 Palm programs, hand-picked from PalmCentral.com, the Internet's largest Palm software site. The illustrated catalog (for Macintosh or Windows 9x) searches, sorts, and describes each application. With a single click, you can install each program onto your palmtop or visit its web pages. (A text listing of the contents is provided for Unix/Linux users.) The book includes a new foreward by Jeff Hawkins, creator of the PalmPilot.
