If you want to start having fun with your Palm-powered handheld, but you don't want to invest in a book that's bigger than the device itself to find out how, this compact guide is the key!

On each page of this budget-friendly booklet, you'll find a bold, bright visual; straightforward text; simple step-by-step instructions; and brief tips or warnings covering points not explained in the basic how-to. The book is quick and to the point, covering the most important, most requested information about using the Palm OS. You'll learn how to set up and hotsync the device; master its native applications (such as Graffiti and Datebook); beam your files to other Palm OS users; troubleshoot the device; install peripheral and after-market programs (for example, keyboards and MP3 music players); and more. With a 6-by-7-inch trim size and a $5 price, there's no better way to bone up on the basics of any PDA or smartphone made by Palm, palmOne, Handspring, Sony, HandEra, Kyocera, Samsung, or Tapwave.
