Book Reviews of Handspring Visor (Visual QuickStart Guide)

Book Review: An excellent addition to your VQSG Library
Summary: 5 Stars

Jeff Carlson's latest, "Handspring Visor: Visual QuickStart Guide", has proven to be an invaluable resource in my growing VQSG library. I am a convert - no more "dummies" or "morons" for me. The Visual QuickStart series as a whole presents technical material in clear, concise and intelligent fashion, without compromising the integrity of it's material with cartoons or remedial presentation.

Carlson does not fall short of the other respected titles in the Visual QuickStart series. For starters, "Handspring Visor: Visual QuickStart Guide" is very well-organized, making it appealing to those peck and hunt readers, or for those that may use the title as a reference book.

Carlson provides sufficient detail of the Palm OS, but unlike "Palm Organizers: VQSG", the author is able to delve into the idiosynchcrasies of only the Handspring Visor Family. Detailed tips and tricks are far beyond that which is contained in the user guide that comes with your new Visor handheld.

While no reference material can possibly tell you all of the things you can accomplish with your Handspring Visor, Carlson does a superb job of opening your eyes to the path of enlightenment that there's more out there besides your date book, address book, and memo pad. Heck - I'm still reeling that my stylus also has a screw driver and a hidden "tip" to help reset my Visor Deluxe.

Summary of Handspring Visor (Visual QuickStart Guide)

The popularity of "palmtop" computing devices is soaring thanks in part to the popularity of the Handspring Visor line of expandable handhelds. Sales of new products such as the Visor Prism, Visor Platinum, and Visor Deluxe outstrip those of cell phones and personal computers in some corners of the country. Handspring Visor: Visual QuickStart Guide introduces the complete Visor line, showing readers how to use the operating system, basic modules (address book, date book, memo pad, to-do list), and advanced features.The book covers every feature and facet of Handspring's devices from entering text and sketches, to managing schedules, using databases, spreadsheets, personal finance programs and games. It also addresses the Springboard modules that convert Visors into cell phones, GPS systems, pagers, and MP3 audio players.
