The handheld Palm III launched a new era in computing, winning millions of devoted fans who wouldn't dream of going anywhere without their Palm to keep track of their schedules, store addresses and phone numbers, make to-do lists, jot down memos, and send and receive email. But learning any new device, even such a small one, can cause anxiety in a novice user. The Little Palm Book is a friendly, reassuring introduction to Palm computing that skips the confusing jargon found in so many other books.
Using simple explanations and informative illustrations, the book guides you through the basics of using a Palm computer, shows you how to maximize the power of the built-in applications, and gives you a brief introduction to some of the more advanced Palm features. It covers all the models, including the Palm VII, with its built-in wireless connectivity and Palm.Net online service and its Web Clipping feature, which delivers content from dozens of providers.
