FROM OUR EDITORS

The Barnes & Noble Review
In the war of the handhelds, Palm￯﾿ﾽs strategy has traditionally been ￯﾿ﾽeasy, basic, and cheap,￯﾿ﾽ Microsoft￯﾿ﾽs ￯﾿ﾽmore powerful, complex, and expensive.￯﾿ﾽ So you can do more with a typical Pocket PC. But you may not know just how much the latest Pocket PCs can do. Did you know you can download an entire movie onto a 128 MB Compact Flash card and watch it on your next flight? Or present PowerPoints to a crowd, via a digital projector?

Those are just a few of Brian Underdahl￯﾿ﾽs zillions of ideas -- and if they sound ￯﾿ﾽoff the beaten track,￯﾿ﾽ don￯﾿ﾽt worry. He offers plenty of help with the meat-and-potatoes stuff, too. For instance, there￯﾿ﾽs extensive coverage of the latest versions of Pocket Office and Internet Explorer (including establishing wireless Internet, email, and instant messaging connections). You￯﾿ﾽll learn how to connect your digital camera and upload images; how to use Windows Media Player to transform your Pocket PC into an MP3 player; and where to find the best Pocket PC games.

The book￯﾿ﾽs chock-full of Pocket PC resources (from software to keyboards to solar power add-ons). Suddenly you can use your Pocket PC anywhere, to do just about anything. Bill Camarda
