PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide, the bible of PalmPilot, covers the PalmPilot, PalmPilot Professsional, OEM models such as the IBM Workpad, and is the only book to cover the new software and features of the 1998 PalmPilot model, Palm III.
Pogue's entertaining guide is the most comprehensive Pilot book yet written. With the cooperation of Palm Computing, 3Com, and MetroWerks, Pogue succinctly answers every conceivable question, unlocks Pilot features most users never suspected, and radiates the fun, passion, and sense of community shared by Piloteers the world over.

- An included CD-ROM with 900 ready-to-install programs, illustrated and organized in an interactive, searchable database
- MetroWerks' Code Warrior Lite programming kit, a kit for people who want to join the ranks of 3,000 PalmPilot programmers (a chapter in the book walks you through creating a simple program with this kit)
- 50 secret alternate Graffiti penstrokes for better handwriting-recognition accuracy
- Power-user tips such as: how to reprogram the PalmPilot buttons, how to use your PalmPilot to read and send email, how to use it as a web browser, or how to use a PalmPilot to store online books.
