Personal Review: iPAQ for Dummies by Brian Underdahl
OK... I'm secure enough in technology to admit that I enjoy Dummies
titles. The latest Dummies title I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing
is iPAQ for Dummies by Brian Underdahl. This is a nice book if you are
looking for an enjoyable read that will walk you through all the features of
your new mobile device.
Chapter breakout: Getting to Know the iPAQ; Choosing Your iPAQ;
Understanding the iPAQ Basics; Entering Information into Your iPAQ;
Keeping It in Sync; Keeping Your Address Book; Taking Some Notes;
Keeping Your Mobile Calendar; Working With Pocket Word; Managing
Your Calculations; Tracking Your Money; Connecting Your iPAQ; Surfing
The Internet; Keeping Track of Your Email; Using Your iPAQ for Music;
More Multimedia; Playing Around with Your iPAQ; Finding iPAQ
Applications; Traveling with Your iPAQ; Ten Great iPAQ Accessories; Ten
Great iPAQ Business Programs; Ten Great Ways To Have Fun with Your
iPAQ; Ten Great iPAQ Utilities; Index
When I got my iPAQ a couple of weeks ago, I was looking for a title that
was more oriented towards a user of the device (as opposed to a title that
showed you how to hack the device). Underdahl delivers well on that
need. He covers both the hardware of the iPAQ (and all the different
models) as well as each of the software packages that comes as part of
the standard iPAQ configuration. In addition to explaining the base
software, he also recommends additional software and/or hardware that
either adds functionality that isn't there or is better than what the iPAQ
ships with. And of course, all this is done in the lighter, humorous fashion
that you normally find in a Dummies book.
My favorite section was the portions on using the Internet with the Wi-Fi
connectivity. I downloaded an additional package based on his
recommendation, and now I'm set to easily find and surf hotspots when I'm
away from the house. I also tried an alternative web browser, but I'm not
yet sure if I like it or not. Either way, without this book it would have taken
longer to find those gems.
You can probably find all this information online or figure it out yourself.
But why take the time to do so if you can have it all delivered in an
enjoyable book?
