A Practical Guide to Wireless Computing 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

By cutting through the confusing acronyms and technocratic garble that earmark most wireless technology discussions, Ian Hayes delivers solid advice for creating and refining a corporate wireless strategy. Hayes provides readily actionable advice to managers, executives and IT personnel who need to quickly come up to speed on the ins and outs of wireless technology. Most impressive is his use of case studies and concrete examples to communicate how wireless technology can be deployed within corporate environments. Hayes offers cost justification guidelines that include how to communicate and sell a wireless solution to executives. This book is highly readable and offers practical advice on how to move forward with a corporate wireless computing strategy. If you are confused by the endless jargon that seems to accompany every wireless conversation and need to cut to the chase, this book is highly recommended reading for you and your management team.

Editorial Review:

Wireless technology offers immense potential for competitive advantage, starting right now -- but today's wireless landscape can be extraordinarily confusing. This book gives decision makers the clarity, insight, and practical methodology they need to identify the right wireless solutions -- and implement them. Ian S. Hayes offers a practical framework for understanding today's complex array of wireless devices, solution providers, technologies, standards, architectures, and acronyms. Through real-world case studies, practical examples, and illustrations, he helps you determine which wireless solutions offer the greatest business value in your environment -- and walks you through assembling and integrating those solutions. The book contains a detailed glossary of terminology, as well as a comprehensive list of software vendors and consultants, updated on an ongoing basis at the book's companion Web site.

A Great Jump Start for the New Visor User 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Color me old-fashioned, but I like to read about a new tool as I'm learning to use it. With a product as useful as the Visor, I'd REALLY like to master it. And I'm impatient. So having a handy guide nearby was a real blessing. I actually didn't find the PDF user guide on the Visor's CD until months after I'd been using the device. The Visor is a wonderful product, but the packaging assumes some intuitive leaps (like including the manual on the CD, without any prompts to open or print it). This book was a godsend. Enough humor to get you through the detail, and good insights to save some aggravation. Worth the money. Definitely.

Editorial Review:

Enhance your Visor experience with this comprehensive, solutions-packed guide. Easy to follow and loaded with practical information, this resource will help you master built-in applications and become familiar with third-party tools, allowing you to get the most out of your handheld device. Ideal for both beginners and experienced users, this reference covers everything from basic set-up to advanced development tools that will allow you to create your own applications.

Superb Book! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I'm a corporate IT professional and smartphone user. I've been looking for a Series 60 smartphone book as a basis for training our staff and helping them become more efficient. For the longest time there was nothing...and then I discovered this. I can't express how happy I am with this book. It's much more than a "Missing Manual." In fact, it's incredibly rich and useful, and the add-on applications it covers illustrate how to get even more "smartness" from smartphones, a point that the manufacturers haven't yet adequately communicated to the general public. Superb book!

Editorial Review:

101 Cool Camera Phone Techniques will be the "first to market" consumer-targeted tips book for this new popular platform. This will be the "manual that should have been in the box." For example, where a phone manual describes Bluetooth simply by telling users how to activate a Bluetooth connection, 101 Cool Camera Phone Techniques will show users how to transfer images back and forth from a camera phone to PC or PDA via a Bluetooth connection.This timely book will deliver engaging step-by-step tips on taking pictures, sharing images, transferring images, connecting your phone to your PC, making use of online Mobile Web logs (Moblogs) and online digital photo services, and more. It will also connect consumers to useful Web sites for sharing and editing photos and learning more camera phone news and tips.

The best iPod book thus far 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I am very pleased with this book. It's small and easy to transport, yet it has soooo much great information. The color photos throughout are large and clear, and the troubleshooting chapter alone is actually worth the price of the book (especially when you consider that it comes with two free audiobook dowloads). Great value and very useful!

Editorial Review:

This full-color book is the perfect iPod companion, and it includes a free downloading offer from Audible.com. This handy book is both colorful and portable, yet packed with useful information, offering "information at your fingertips" that "goes where you go" for instant reference, anywhere! Its pages are packed with beautiful color images, essential iPod how-to information and no-fail formulas for making the iPod sing. It includes step-by-step techniques that cover setting up and customizing the iPod, creating smart playlists, recording music in non-MP3 formats for even better fidelity, running multiple iPods together, running the iPod through a stereo system, getting the most from iTunes, automating iTunes, choosing the best accessories, troubleshooting, and much more.

Essential Palm Tungsten Operation but Little Else 3 out of 5 stars.
31 of 32 people found this review helpful.

The Palm Tungsten E comes with a fairly comprehensive electronic manual and this book aims to expand upon the manual by providing ideas, tips and techniques. It starts by explaining basic tasks which can be performed even by someone totally new to a handheld, and then continues by going into detail about the facilities available. The basic applications supplied with the Tungsten such Contacts, Calendar, Taks, Memos are covered in detail with guides and examples on how to make productive use of them and link them together, e.g. adding a 'phone number from a contact into a meeting reminder in the calendar. Further sections detail synchronization, using photos, music and the applications provided on the CD that accompanies the Tungsten E.

The book is certainly useful to someone unfamiliar with a Palm and seeking to exploit its potential. Experienced users might pick up some useful tips, but don't expect any wonderful revelations, interesting hacks or undocumented features.

There are a number of drawbacks. I found the disjointed layout style very unhelpful. The third-party CD applications are not covered in any great detail. Several pages are more or less advertisements for Palm accessories and software - it may be useful to know that these exist, but paying for this material is just irritating.
