How to Do Everything with Your Pocket PC and Handheld PC explores
the latest developments in the Microsoft Windows CE universe. Specifically,
it takes a user-level look at the new Pocket PC specification and
the somewhat older Handheld PC design. If you use an HP Jornada, Casio
Cassiopeia, Compaq iPaq, or similar personal digital assistant (PDA)
and feel sure you're not getting maximum utility from it, you'll appreciate
this carefully paced and liberally illustrated explanation of Windows
CE, the hardware it runs on, and the software that makes it productive
and fun. Odds are good that no matter how long you've been using your
Microsoft-based miniature computer, you'll learn something new here.
The approach of the book isn't fancy, but it does the job. Pocket
PC and Handheld PC features are diligently explained one at a time.
Users want to know how to do specific jobs, and the book was clearly
written with that in mind. Conceptual explanations combined with
procedures and illustrations help readers learn how to make their
palm-size buddies do new tricks. Coverage is a bit short on applications
other than those in the standard suite, but in-depth sections on
multimedia management and Internet connectivity make up for that
shortcoming. All together, this is a solid tutorial and reference
manual for people who use PDAs based on Windows CE. --David Wall
Topics covered: Palm-size PCs that run Microsoft Windows CE and
comply with the Pocket PC and Handheld PC specifications are explained
for everyday users. There's documentation of the essential functions
of the operating system and its most popular applications (especially
Pocket Outlook, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, and Microsoft Money).
Multimedia gets a lot of attention, as does Internet connectivity.
