How to Do Everything with Your Clie(tm)

This is a wonderful book that is full of not just great ideas, but also how to make use of what you have. More important is understanding how it works. First, the downside is that the book seems mainly aimed at the higher-end Clies. With add-ons, most Clies will do the same thing. What's that foreign object on page 158? (Palm V). The book reads like a big a-d-v-e-r-t-i-s-e-m-e-n-t for top-end Clies. Now the good stuff. This book covers: • Learn about the different Clie models and choose the right one for you • Connect your Clie to a PC to synchronize • Enter text and numbers with the Graffiti handwriting system • Manage your appointments with the built-in Date Book • Use the Address Book to maintain a comprehensive contact list • Take detailed notes and export them to Microsoft Word And Other applications • Master the Clie security and search feature • Assemble the ultimate road-warrior survival kit for your Clie • Connect your Clie to a cell phone or modem for e-mail and Web access • Turn your Clie into a mobile office and leave the laptop behind • Exchange documents between your Clie and Windows applications, such as Word and Excel • Learn about X-Master and other valuable Clie utilities • Track your Stocks, expenses, and billable hours • Discover different and better ways to enter data into your Clie • Capture and view digital photos and movies • Use your handheld as a TV guide and universal remote • Download and play great games • Find and read e-books on your Clie • Learn about working with Memory Stick media • Expand and enhance your Clie with keyboards, cases, and other accessories Chapter 22 on the memory stick was worth the book alone. Several places have valuable web addresses.

I've enjoyed this book. Much easier to read than a boring manual. I would buy other books from these authors.

This book is another of a great series on the PDA. The authors have covered just about everything there is to say about the CLIE. I found the material well written and easy to understand, as I did with their previous books. Questions are answered before you even think to ask them. I give this book a "heads up" and recommend it to anyone who is either comtemplating or has purchased the CLIE.

I bought these guys other book about mp3 and loved it, so I was glad to find one about my new Clie! In fact I'm writing this on it, which I learned to do in the book. There is tons of great stuff in here that I never would have figured out on my own. Plus it's very funny in places. Write more tech books, guys!!

I bought my first Palm device, a Sony Clie, a few months ago and have been using it with limited success since that time. I purchased the above book several days ago and have found it to be very helpful to me in learning about Palm devices, and the Sony Clie, in particular. I have the following comments: 1. The book covers all of the Sony Clie line of PDAs that have been released up to Sept 2002.2. It concentrates on version 4.1 of the Palm OS.3. It covers all of the major Palm programs. I found that, although I have been using my Clie for a few months now, that the book had many new and helpful hints on each and every program. For example, I learned a few tricks to make graffiti writing easier. It also pointed out new uses for the PDA, which hadn't occurred to me before. 4. There is good coverage on many extra programs that the Clie can handle. I had been interested in getiing some information on how to use the Clie for reading E-books. It covers that topic very nicely. The book also provides a lot of information on Games, hacks, utilities,other add-on programs, the use of memory sticks, and on many other topics. It is written in an easy to understand style, and is very helpful to me, a near-novice.
