Once the exclusive domain of techies and high-powered execs, Palm devices are replacing the paper-bound address and appointment books of regular folks everywhere. If you've made the switch or are considering it, pick up Palm Organizers: Visual QuickStart Guide, a concise guide to the most popular palmtop OS and the multiplicity of devices it runs on.
Palm Organizers: VQS not only covers the basics of working with Palm devices, it also shows you the best techniques for using your palmtop to make your daily life more efficient and organized. For example, the book thoroughly covers the Date Book and gives you strategies for improving your time-management skills. Devices covered in this edition include the Palm V and Palm III families, Palm VII, Handspring's Visor, IBM Workpads, and TRG's TRGPro.
Jeff Carlson divides his time between Web design--through his Seattle company Never Enough Coffee Creations--and writing and editing, as a freelance author and as Managing Editor of the weekly electronic newsletter TidBITS. Jeff is also the founder of eSCENE, the annual anthology of the best short fiction on the Web. His pioneering use of the Palm organizer is causing an epidemic of PalmPilot purchases at his office, where he rushes around, PalmPilot in hand, asking, "Wanna see something cool?"
