Buy this excellent resource! 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

From Marisa D'Vari, author "Script Magic" and "Media Magic"
Laptop addicts, listen up! Erik B. Sherman shows us that a Pocket PC can do everything a laptop can do, and potentially save thousands of dollars in chiropractor bills in the process.

If your PC manual is too tech-oriented to understand or doesn't give you the low-down on how you can personally (and easily) program your Pocket PC to work best for your lifestyle, check out this amazing resource!

My Pocket PC was ten days and I was ten days frustrated before I located this book and CD combo that showed me how I can use my Pocket PC instead of a computer to compose documents and send them by both fax and email.

The book comes with a CD with many free applications, and now I use the Pocket PC to perform every laptop function. For writers, business people, and frequent travelers, I can't recommend this resource highly enough!

Editorial Review:

-Written by Erik Sherman, professional journalist and author of Home Networking! I Didn't Know You Could Do That..., this book provides you with the most up-to-date information, tips and tricks to teach you how to get the most out of your Pocket PC.

--Learn how to check email, listen to MP3 files, watch videos, read or listen to an e-book, play games and more.

--The CD includes the hottest and most updated software for Pocket PC devices including evaluation and shareware software.

If you like to tweak, disassemble, recreate, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love MAKE, our project-based quarterly for the inquisitive do-it-yourselfer. MAKE Volume 11 explores alternative energy and green vehicles.

As has been true with all of the previous editions of "Make" magazine, I have found this one to be captivating to read and leaving me anticipating several new projects to explore.

The production quality of the actual magazine has remained high (it has nice paper, photos, and printing!).

It doesn't tell you everything 3 out of 5 stars.
23 of 24 people found this review helpful.

The "How to Do Everything With Your..." series is a rather disappointing marketing gimmick. As with the other volumes, this book does not give you much information beyond the superficial. What irks me the most -- something I didn't realize when I purchased the book -- is that this book covers both Pocket PC and HandheldPC, which means you'll probably only need half of the book while paying for 300 pages of stuff you'll never use.

For the Pocket PC, the book walks you through how to set up your new toy and how to use the major applications: Pocket Outlook, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, Pocket Money, and Pocket Internet Explorer. (Pocket Access and PowerPoint for HandheldPC are also covered.) It was able to answer some of the questions I had had about using the Pocket PC, so it did prove helpful. At the same time, a lot of information is left out. For example, is there an optimal way to adjust the memory settings? The book doesn't tell you. Are there any third-party application switchers that automatically stop an application a la the Palm? The book doesn't tell you.

Another annoying thing about this book is that it was obviously written in a hurry to include Pocket PC features. It might have been a Windows CE book, so you see WinCE references everywhere. As of today there's only one other good Pocket PC book (forget about "Pocket PC for Dummies" and save some money), "Unauthorized Guide to Pocket PC", and I recommend that one over this one.

Editorial Review:

Learn to set up all the features and productivity applications on your Windows CE, connect and sync to your desktop PC, send and receive e-mail, download games, utilities, and MP3 files, and so much more. This book shows you how to do, well, EVERYTHING!

Great Book for Palm owners 5 out of 5 stars.
94 of 96 people found this review helpful.

This is a brand new edition and it covers all the newer Palms running OS 5, such as the Tungstens and Zires. Very well-written and an excellent choice for new or non-techie users. What I like about this book is that it covers a wide range of things you can do with your PDA, from the basic built-in functions to fairly advanced stuff like downloading your email or surfing the Internet by linking through a cell phone. And it does so in a manner that is easy for beginners without insulting the more experienced user. It also suggests additional programs and services, and tells you where to get them.

The only Palm book you'll ever need 5 out of 5 stars.
48 of 50 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book when I bought my Palm Zire 71, and I am absolutely amazed at how much I have learned. The tips in this book alone are worth the price. For instance, I learned that I could Hotsync my Palm with my Yahoo web address book. I learned how to beam entire programs to my friend's Palm. And I learned that I could read books on my Palm, which I had no idea you could do and now love more than anything. The authors really seemed to have fun writing the book, too, and that sense of fun comes through to the reader. So much better than most computer books I've read that are dry and dull. HIghly recommended!

Editorial Review:

Put down that flimsy manual and get to the heart of the matter with the fourth edition of this step-by-step Palm goldmine. Easy-to-follow and filled with information, this handy guide will help you achieve the most from your Palm Handheld, including working on documents, updating databases, and managing finances and schedules while on the go.

Editorial Review:

The first EASY guide to Google phones for consumers, not experts!

 

A complete real-world guide for users of the T-Mobile G1 and any other Google Android phone

Everything consumers need to know about Android calling features, contacts, calendars, photography, media, Web access, email, and troubleshooting

Friendly, casual, practical, and easy to understand

First to market - months before any other Google Phone guide for consumers

 

Google on the Go is the perfect hands-on guide to any Google Android smartphone - both the hot new T-Mobile G1 and all the competitive Google Android phones that will soon follow it.

The authors begin with a tour of the Google Android phone, showing how to use each of its essential calling and voicemail features. Next, they turn to Google Android's built-in applications, showing how to work with contacts; use the local calendar to coordinate your activities with others; take pictures; use your phone as a personal media player; and more. Google on the Go includes easy-to-understand coverage of Google Android's essential Internet features, from web browsing and Gmail email to the Google Application Suite. Users will even learn how to add additional programs to their phones. The book concludes with a full chapter of easy, plain-English troubleshooting steps for non-technical users, as well as a brief introduction to advanced topics such as customization.
