Love my Clié and love this book
Goes beyond the manual. I have had my TH55 for a couple of years and am still learning what it can do. Most of us just do the minimum with electronic devices--a need to know basis. But this gave me a lot of ideas to more thoroughly utilize my beloved PDA and a spare resource manual. Me? I don't want a cell phone that does it all. Maybe that will change in a few years but for now my Clié is my mostest, favoritist electronic gadget and this book secured its First Place.

fairly good in covering many Clie models, But
This book is outdated. It doesn't contain any info regarding to the newest Clie model UX-50. It didn't even address any of the following: 1)AIM, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, and the everyday applications. 2) a few Clie models have built-in camera, and specifically, UX-50 supports video recording, but does the camera work as a webcam? 3)If Yahoo Messeger does work with Clie, will the built-in microphone functions like the microphone headset for voice chatting? 4)The Jabra bluetooth headset by Sony is supported by many bluetooth devices, such as cellphone(Sony Ericsson, Nokia, etc.), Pc, Mac(in ichat), but what about Clie with bluetooth capabilities? 5)In the section where, it talked about making your own tunes in Midi format, but it didn't tell you that you can transfer into your cellphone (t616, etc.)to use it as a ringtone, also you can download pictures from the internet and shrink it down to the right size with photoshop(288x352 in jpeg format), then transfer it to your cellphone to use it as a wallpaper.

Its a book
Save your money. This book did't teach me anything about PDA's. That I don't already know. You will be fine reading the info in the Book that comes with the PDA. All the basic stuff thats in the guide book that comes with your PDA is in this book. So I don't know why this was written. I was hoping to get some interesting info and get more use out of my PDA. But everything it covers I already know. If you dont have a guide book for your PDA that usually comes with the PDA than by all means get this book. Other than that it was useless to me.
