Summary: Pocket PCs have very little user documetation...
Review: ...so you'll want to pick up this book. Unless you have a lot of spare time to experiment with your device or to read through thousands of newsgroup postings, you'll want to have this at your side as you begin using your Pocket PC. This book will take you through the steps of cusotmizing your device, using its nifty features, and getting around some of the more common gotchas that all new technologies seem to have. You won't be able to rely on vendor documetation with your device -- there is very little of that.

Summary: How to Do Everything with Your Pocket PC and Handheld PC
Review: As a new user I have recommended this book to everyone who shows interest in purchasing a palm handheld. It enabled me to do things that I would never have learned to do with the instruction book that came with my Palm. In order to get the most use from your Palm, this book is a must!!

Summary: Must Have Book
Review: For anyone trying to justify to your spouse how you just spent big bucks for a Pocket PC, this is a "must have" book. It makes up for the non-existent book that never came with the pocket pc and it tells you how to make the most of all the bells and whistles that your "new toy" can do. I'm not sure whether my spouse is really impressed with my growing knowledge of the pocket pc but it gives her an excuse to buy that expensive purse she always wanted, anyway. . . .

Summary: Great Help for a New Pocket PC Owner
Review: I bought the McPherson book shortly after buying my Jornada Pocket PC. This book is a must have for new handheld owners. It is very easy to understand and helps you become familiar with this incredible device. The book introduces you to functions that the owner's manual does not mention and in much greater detail. Illustrations are helpful. The book is well worth the money. I highly recommend the book and know that I will refer back to it in the months ahead. Before buying, I compared it to the Idiot's Guide and thought that this one was better, i.e., much more thorough.

Summary: Great starter book to learn the basics before moving on.
Review: I found that this book was a great starter book when I first purchased my IPAQ. It was very useful and I still refer to it on a regular basis. It is more like the user's manual in print. I plan to buy another book to move me to the next level. But I would highly recommend this book as a reference book and keeper for anyone's library. Great job Mr. McPherson.

Summary: Sub-par unless you're technologically ignorant
Review: I was excited to get my hands on this book, hoping that it would shed further light on the potential of my already positive Pocket PC experience. This book did little to help me. 90% of it's content was pretty much common sense stuff that any person who has got a grasp of Windows and MS Office programs could figure out. I wanted to know how to better manage memory. Do neat tricks with Pocket Word, Excel, and Outlook. All this book points you to is the basics that are in your owner's manual. In comparision to other books on the subject, "Pocket PC Handbook" by Dan Hanttula, for example, this book was of little help. If you're looking to improve your knowledge of your Pocket PC go somewhere else. If you no nothing about computers, go someplace else. This book doesn't help unlease the pocket PC's potential. Go someplace else.

Summary: How to Do Everything with Your Pocket PC and Handheld PC
Review: If you're new to the PDA world, this book covers the basic functions of Pocket PC's fairly well. It even goes through programs like Pocket Word, Excel, etc. in painstaking detail. If you have an iPAQ, you might as well consider this book as the manual since one is not included with the unit. The book does lack substance in areas such as downloading music files, and working with compact flash storage media. Overall, it is a good reference guide.
