O'Reilly Announces New Edition of Pogue's Bestselling PalmPilot Book

Sebastopol, CA--3Com's PalmPilot is the world's bestselling hand-held computer platform, capturing 80 percent of the palmtop market. About the size of a playing card, Palm devices are lightweight (under 6 ounces), offer two-months battery life, handwriting recognition, Internet connectivity, and a touch-screen display. Above all, these devices are fast and elegantly designed.

David Pogue's PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide became an instant classic when it debuted in 1998, becoming, and remaining, the #1 bestselling Palm book (and a Top Ten title among all computer books) every month since.

The second edition is the only book currently available to offer exclusive insider coverage of all models, including 1999's Palm IIIx, Palm V, laser- equipped Symbol 1500, and the revolutionary, wireless Palm VII.

This new edition of O'Reilly's runaway bestseller is densely packed with previously undocumented information. The bible for users of Palm VII and all other Palm models, it contains hundreds of timesaving tips and surprising tricks, plus an all-new CD-ROM (for Windows 9x, NT, or Macintosh) containing over 3,100 PalmPilot programs, organized in a searchable, sortable database catalog with auto-install features and Web links, from the collection of PalmCentral.com, the Internet's largest Palm software site.

"The PalmPilot is an incredible device, but buying one without buying David's book as well is like getting only half of what you paid for," says Tim O'Reilly, President and Publisher of O'Reilly & Associates.
