Summary: Fun book for the PocketPC enthusiast
Comment: This is a really fun book to read. It is designed to help PocketPC users understand just what they can do with their really expensive toy. While it's probably not a good book for techies, since they will probably be able to figure out everything they're PocketPC can do pretty quickly anyway, it is good for everyone else.
The book starts out pretty much how you would expect it: with a section on how to synch your PocketPC and other introductory steps. Once you've got it synched, there is a discussion on personalization features of the PocketPC. The book then goes through each of the types of things you can do with a PocketPC: make contacts and manage appointments, use PocketPC versions of Excel and Word, call someone on the phone (if you're lucky enough to have the PocketPC Phone Edition), take notes, access multimedia content, use mapping software, and even instant message.

Summary: this book is not current - Updated Revision Needed Now
Comment: While I enjoyed the book and found much of the information informative, I was also disapointed that it's focus is on the 3100,3600,3700,3800 series and the MicroSoft CE 2002 operating system. The 3870 is the latest model referenced and it was released 11/15/2001, almost two years ago. Alot of changes have happened and this book is not current.
I have just been introduced to the iPAQ world with a 5555 and MS CE 2003. Most of the CE 2003 Operating System is the same (in appearence) as CE 2003. After reading the HP users manual, which I found sparce, I purchased this book partly for configuration information of WiFi email (which is a major bullet on the cover) and troubleshooting.
I found the book's information on configuration of WiFi email to be basic, almost the same at the HP manual, and there was little information to deal with setup problems that do arise. There are only 2 pages devoted out of 365 that deal with troubleshooting...

Summary: How To Do Everything With Your Pocket PC, 2nd Edition
Comment: Excellent book! Buy this book if you are new to the Pocket PC!!! I tried another and it just did'nt have the detail. McPherson writes like he is sitting next to you! It is easy to read and I've become educated in how to use my ipaq more efficently. McPherson also has many useful websites within the book that are very helpful.
