Rating: - Probably a good resource when first written.
I suppose for the user who has no knowledge of palm pilots and hand-held computers, this book could be useful. The real difficulty I had with it was that it is already out of date. I just obtained one of the newest models of the HP iPaq, and this book simply did not help. I still have no idea how to connect to the Internet through the wireless. A real problem is that I have found no other books that are more recent. Someone out there could make a whole lot of money updating the information on ... Read More

Rating: - A great way to get going with your iPAQ
OK... I'm secure enough in technology to admit that I enjoy Dummies titles. The latest Dummies title I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing is iPAQ for Dummies by Brian Underdahl. This is a nice book if you are looking for an enjoyable read that will walk you through all the features of your new mobile device.

Chapter breakout: Getting to Know the iPAQ; Choosing Your iPAQ; Understanding the iPAQ Basics; Entering Information into Your iPAQ; Keeping It in Sync; Keeping Your Address ... Read More

Rating: - Useful and Enjoyable
This is how manuals should be -- inviting. The pictures, icons and layout, as well as the writing style, examples and content make iPAQ for Dummies the kind of book people will read, not just buy and leave on their shelves. The tips and examples show real-life uses, and the author's familiarity with his subject and his audience really comes through. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to see how to get the most use out of a Pocket PC.

Rating: - Get this book if you have an iPAQ
I was lucky enough to get an advanced look at the book - great introduction to the iPAQ as well as a HUGE number of website references for downloading free software for it (and plenty more of reviews for software and hardware to purchase).

I have a lot of books by Brian Underdahl. He never fails to deliver what you've paid for - if you need to get up to speed quick on your new iPAQ or already have one but have never gotten into the nuts and bolts, this book will get you there. I love my iPAQ ... Read More
