You truly can do everything with your Clie

This is a wonderful book that is full of not just great ideas but how to use what you have. More important is, knowing how it works.
First the downside, the book seems geared mainly at the higher-end Clies. With an add-on, most Clies will do the same thing. What's that foreign object on page 158? (Palm V). The book reads like a big advertisement for top-end Clie's.
Now the good stuff:
This book covers:
• Learn about the different Clie models and choose the right one for you
• Connect your Clie to a PC to synchronize
• Enter text and numbers with the Graffiti handwriting system
• Manage your appointments with the built-in Date Book
• Use the Address Book to maintain a comprehensive contact list
• Take detailed notes and export them to Microsoft Word And Other applications
• Master Clie security and search feature
• Assemble the ultimate road-warrior survival kit for your Clie
• Connect your Clie to a cell phone or modem for e-mail and Web access
• Turn your Clie into a mobile office and leave the laptop behind
• Exchange documents between your Clie and Windows applications such as Word and Excel
• Learn about X-Master and other valuable Clie utilities
• Track your Stocks, expenses, and billable hours
• Discover different and better ways to enter data into your Clie
• Capture and view digital photos and movies
• User your handheld as a TV guide and universal remote
• Download and play great games
• Find and read e-books on your Clie
• Learn about working with Memory stick media
• Expand and enhance your Clie with keyboards, cases, and other accessories
Chapter 22 on the memory stick was worth the book alone. Several places have valuable web addresses.
