Title: Palm OS Bible (with CD-ROM) by Glenn Brown ISBN: 0764534084 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Pub. Date: 15 January, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $39.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.25
Rating: 3
Summary: Nice, but too much software reviews
Comment: A nice book in its first part. The second is just a collection of software reviews. Software is so rapidly evolving that it can get obsolete too fast. Anyways it's a good overall image of the PalmOs platform
Rating: 5
Summary: Good coverage of 3rd party stuff for the Palm
Comment: Firstly this book title is misleading - it isn't a book for operating system hackers/app developers. What it is is a very good guide to the built in apps and add-on applications (mainly software, though there is a bit out of date section on hardware).
It isn't condesending or authoratarian, rather it comes across as a set of balanced well thought out independent reviews. Not all of the reviewed s/w is on the CD - and the CD front end is slow and clumsy.
The reviews of applications give the impression the author has actually used them and isn't regurgitating the applications marketing. He describes what each program does and, in may cases, what it doesn't. For most apps he gives the cost, memory requrement and developer, plus lists developers web sites. There is a good list of contacts in the back. Hardware section is good with pictures of most of the stuff. A good section on batteries but nothing on the serial connector. Not all available hardware is covered, though of course thats asking a bit much. One thing missing is a consise list/table/index of all the apps covered. I'm looking forward to an update of the book and definately recommend it to anyone wanting to expand thier palm functionality.
