Future models

Palm Computing introduced four new models in the first half of 1999
alone, and it isn?t finished yet. Like any high-tech company, it
keeps its products secret until they?re ready. It?s safe to
assume, however, that the future will bring PalmPilot models with
improvements in battery life, memory capacity, price, and--especially
in light of the Palm V's enormous success--case designs. Future
editions of this book, and its Web site at http://palmpilot.oreilly.com,
will keep you posted.

It now reads:

Palm IIIe

July 1999 saw Palm's low-cost answer to the cheap Palm knockoffs that
rival manufacturers had introduced: The Palm IIIe. The new model offers
the same size, shape, features, and sharp screen as its sibling, the
Palm IIIx.

The IIIe's three dramatic differences: first, it lacks the IIIx's
expansion slot; second, it has only 2MB of RAM; and third, the price
hit a new Palm low: $230. For the vast majority of Palm owners who
never upgrade their machines, the IIIe is an economical option.

and third, the price hit a new Palm low: $230.

It now reads:

and third, the price hit a new Palm low: $179.

Actually, though, the A-through-Z screen that first appears
isn't the useful one; most people have mastered
the basic alphabet within an hour of turning on the PalmPilot.
The more useful screens are the ones that appear when you tap
the down-pointing triangle - the wackier and less intuitive
symbols for punctuation and international symbols. Tap the Done
button to return to whatever you were doing.

It now reads:

Actually, though, the default A-through-Z screen that first
appears isn't the useful one. For the less intuitive punctuation
and international symbols, tap the down-pointing triangle on the
A-Z screen. Better yet, try this tip: make the punctuation dot
or slash (see the inside covers of this book) before making the
Ronomatic Stroke. You jump directly to the corresponding page of
the cheat sheet.

In either case, you make the Graffiti screen go away simply by
tapping anywhere on it.

HotSyncing Without a Cradle

to:

USB and Infrared HotSyncing

also, the second paragraph of the sidebar now reads:

The world is hard at work addressing cases like these.
Palm's $40 PalmConnect USB adapter, for example, lets you plug your
HotSync cradle into the USB jack of any USB-equipped Macintosh or PC.
(Macintosh fans who use the PalmConnect or one of its rivals, such as
the $40 Keyspan USB PDA Adapter, don't need Palm's $6 Macintosh
serial-cable adapter.)

When installing the Windows software for the Palm V, Palm IIIx,
or a later model, on the other hand,

It now reads:

When installing the Windows software for the Palm V, Palm IIIx,
or a later model (but not the Palm IIIe),

On the Macintosh, you're offered a choice of modem or (if
you've installed appropriate IR software) infrared ports.

It now reads:

On the Macintosh, you're offered a choice of modem, USB, or
infrared ports (if you've installed appropriate software).

HotSync's smarts are made possible by its internal record
dating--every single tidbit of information is quietly
date-stamped when you create, delete, or change it.
That's how the HotSync software decides who's "right"
- your PC or your PalmPilot--when the data is different on
each machine.

It now reads:

HotSync's smarts are made possible by its internal
change-stamping-when you create, delete, or change a record,
it's marked as HotSync-needy. (Programmers might say that its
"dirty bit" is flipped.) Only changed records are actually
transmitted during the standard HotSync cycle.

It's perfectly safe to synchronize one PalmPilot with two
different computers. Just install Pilot Desktop
on each PC, maybe buy an extra HotSync cradle for
the second computer, and you're in business.
(HotSyncing takes longer than, but it gets done
eventually.) The PalmPilot keeps everything straight, even
if you make changes on both PC's simultaneously - at
each HotSync, the PalmPilot simply assumes that that
information has been updated since the last HotSync,
regardless of which computer it's attached to.

It now reads:

It's perfectly safe to synchronize one PalmPilot with two
different computers. Buy a cradle for the
second computer, and you're in business. Then, to
guarantee perfect unison among the three machines, treat
the PalmPilot as the master. That is, HotSync with
your office PC before leaving for home, and vice
versa. The PalmPilot will keep everything straight on all three
computers. (HotSyncing takes longer, because it must compare
every record instead of only the changed ones, but it gets
done eventually.)

Despite the many possibilities for inclusion in your
PalmPilot's dialing string--commas, calling card numbers,
access numbers, and so on--the most the machine can dial is
36 digits. If the total number of numbers, commas, prefixes,
country codes, and so on is more than 36, your call won't go
through. That's a definite disappointment for anyone who wants
to call internationally using a calling card!

It now read:

Despite the possibilities for inclusion in your dialing string
- commas, calling cards, access numbers, and so on - the
most Pilot and PalmPilot models can dial is 36 digits. If the total
number of numbers, commas, and so on is more than 36, your call
won't go through. (That disappointment for international calling-card
fans was alleviated in the Palm III and later models, which permit
52 characters.)

This book assumes that you're using this dramatically improved
software, known collectively as the Mac Pac 2.1. (It's available at no
charge from www.palm.com.) To make a new PalmPilot work with the Mac,
you still need to make one additional purchase -- either the $15 Mac
Pac kit (which includes the Mac Pac software, a printed manual, and
an adapter for your HotSync cable that fits a standard Macintosh modem
port) or the $5 cable adapter by itself (which assumes that you have
downloaded the software and an electronic manual from the Palm Web
site). But the resulting system is a true delight: sophisticated,
fast software on the Macintosh talking to the greatest palmtop on Earth.

software it comes with, and this chapter is a much better manual than
the printed one in the Mac Pac kit.) But the resulting system is a true
delight: sophisticated, fast software on the Macintosh talking to the
greatest palmtop on Earth.

This command launches the extremely important HotSync
Manager program, described later in this chapter. (HotSync
Manager installs new programs onto your palmtop, controls which
data gets exchanged with your Mac, allows you to use your modem
port for other functions, and more.)

It now reads:

This command gives you access to the very important
HotSync Manager program, described later in this chapter.
(If you have the MacPac 2.5 or later, this command offers a
submenu of commands instead of launching a
separate HotSync Manager application.)

To open this program, choose its name from the Instant Palm
Desktop menu (see Figure 9-1). You see HotSync Manager's main
screen, a glorified on/off button for your ability to HotSync.
And why would you ever want to select Disabled, which tells your
Mac to ignore the HotSync cradle? Because when HotSync Manager
is Enabled, you can't use its Macintosh jack for any other
purpose. No other gadget-no MIDI, modem, or digitizing
tablet-will work when it's plugged into that port while HotSync
Manager is enabled.

It now reads:

To open this program, choose its name from the Instant Palm
Desktop menu (see Figure 9-1). (If you have MacPac 2.5, choose
Setup from the HotSync Manager submenu.) You see HotSync
Manager's Setup screen, a glorified on/off button for your
ability to HotSync. Select Disabled, which tells your Mac to
ignore the HotSync cradle, when you want to use
the HotSync cradle's jack for another purpose - MIDI, modem,
or digitizing tablet, for example. None of them work when
plugged into that port while HotSync Manager is enabled.

Now you launch Palm Desktop, only to discover that her calendar
shows up. To view a different set of data -- your own -- follow
these steps:

1. Choose File -->Open. As shown in Figure 9-17, the standard
Mac Open File dialog box appears.

2. Navigate to the Palm folder on your hard drive. Open it,
then the Users folder inside it, then the folder with your
name on it; finally, double-click the User Data
file (as shown in the figure). Your data now appears in Palm Desktop.

It now reads:

Now you launch Palm Desktop, only to discover that her calendar

data is as easy as choosing your name from the User:
pop-up menu on the toolbar. If you have MacPac 2.1,
however, follow these steps:

1. Choose File -->Open (see Figure 9-17).

2. Navigate to the Palm folder. Open it, then the Users folder
inside it, then the folder with your name on it; finally,
double-click the User Data file. Your data now appears in Palm Desktop.

(such as "Company Data") and click OK. Close the window.

2. Choose Users -->Select Current Palm User. In the next dialog
box, choose your profile's name. Click OK. If you like,
choose HotSync -->Install and load up any Palm
programs you want every device to receive. (See Chapter

As this book went to press, Palm Desktop 2.5 was in final
testing.

It now reads:

In Fall of 1999, Palm released Palm Desktop 2.5 (it's on this
book's CD).

To-Do List for Palm Desktop 2.5

Although Palm Desktop 2.1 is a dramatic improvement over what
came before it, a few rough edges remain. For example, you may have
noticed that Palm Desktop has no facility for viewing or even honoring
the records designated as Private on your PalmPilot. The program could
use an easier method of switching among Palm Desktop user files, too.
Network HotSyncing, as described in Chapter 6, is also Windows-only
exclusive.

Finally, Palm Desktop for Macintosh doesn?t support the File Linking
feature offered in Windows, which permits multiple PalmPilots to load a
standardized set of address book and memo data (described near the end
of Chapter 8). Version 2.5, anyone?

It now reads:

To-Do List for Palm Desktop 3.0

As this book went to press, Palm Desktop 2.5 was in final
testing. It offers two welcome improvements over the 2.1 release: a
User pop-up menu on the Palm Desktop toolbar that lets you easily
switch between different PalmPilots? contents, and direct access to
all HotSync Manager commands in the Instant Palm Desktop menu.

But Palm Desktop still has no facility for viewing or even honoring the
records designated as Private on your PalmPilot. Network HotSyncing, as
described in Chapter 6, is also Windows-only exclusive. Finally, Palm
Desktop for Macintosh doesn?t support the File Linking feature
offered in Windows (described near the end of Chapter 8). Version 3,
anyone?

(At this writing, HanDBase Desktop doesn't perform two-way,
record-by-record HotSyncing of Windows database information.
Version 2, however, due in mid-1999, is scheduled to make the
process automatic.)

It now reads:

It now reads:

You also need an email program, such as Eudora for Palm,

Following is the text as it appears now, starting from the
bottom of page 369, under the heading "pdQmail:"

Eudora for Palm (pdQmail)

If you're lucky enough to own a pdQ phone, then you're already familiar
with Eudora for Palm (formerly pdQmail). It's the e-mail program built
into that combination PalmPilot/cell phone. You'd expect an e-mail
program designed for such an expensive gadget to be a very high
caliber; in this case, you'd be right. Eudora is an extremely full-featured,
well-designed e-mail program (see Figure 13-14).

Among its most remarkable aspects: it can handle e-mail using either of
the two methods described the beginning of this chapter. If your
PalmPilot has a modem, Eudora can get your mail directly from the
Internet. If not, Eudora can HotSync your messages with your Windows
PC, so that you can read them, and reply to them, on the road.

Figure 13-14: Eudora (pdQmail)'s folder menu (left) gives statistics
about the number of messages in each folder. Right: Eudora is the only
e-mail program for the PalmPilot that shows text formatting. (The
dotted underline means italic.)

Eudora via PC

If you choose to HotSync your e-mail to the PalmPilot, run the included
Eudora Conduit application. To your standard list of conduits (see "The
Concept of Conduits" in Chapter 6), it adds a Eudora conduit containing
the usual choices -- Synchronize, Handheld overwrites Desktop, and so on.

During the installation of this conduit, you'll be asked to specify
your Windows e-mail program. Eudora for Palm can handle Eudora, Outlook
Express, Outlook 98, or any generic MAPI e-mail program. (The 1.0
release of Eudora can't HotSync with Netscape products, America Online,
Lotus Notes, or cc:Mail.)

When the installation is over, the Eudora conduit synchronizes your
e-mail beautifully with your Windows e-mail program. Messages from your
PC's Inbox are automatically copied to Eudora on the PalmPilot; replies
you write on the PalmPilot are delivered to your PC's Outbox; and
messages you delete on the PalmPilot are also deleted on the PC.

The Eudora feature list

At 216 K, Eudora isn't what you'd call petite. But in power and
features, the program is unmatched:

_ Eudora is the only Palm e-mail program that displays text formatting,
such as bold and italics, which is often included in HTML-formatted
messages (see Figure 13-14, right). (This formatting shows up only on
directly downloaded mail, not mail HotSynced from your PC.)

_ You can sort your list of messages by date, subject, sender, thread,
priority, and so on. (Tap Menu -->Options -->Sorting and Columns.)

_ As in other Palm e-mail programs, you can specify that you'd like a
standard signature appended to the end of each email you send. But in
Eudora, you can choose to have this signature included either globally
or on a message-by-message basis.

_ You can assign a priority to each outgoing message, for the benefit
of those e-mail programs (such as Outlook) that display priority
information in the recipient's Inbox.

_ Eudora uses "excerpt bars," which help to identify portions of
messages that have been forwarded or quoted back -- a more less
distracting alternative to the greater-than symbols (>) that generally
precedes each quoted line. (See Figure 13-15, left, for an example.)

_ The program's filters offer extensive control over what messages are
fetched at each online session or HotSync. In order to conserve time
and Palm memory, you can specify that you want to get only the first, say,
20 lines of each message. You can also limit your downloading to the most
recent X number of messages you've received.

_ Those same filtering commands let you omit messages from certain
people, with certain subject lines, to certain recipients, and so on --
or include only messages that meet those criteria (Figure 13-15,
right). You can also use filters to automatically file downloaded mail into the
Eudora mailboxes you've set up. (To see your options, tap Menu
-->Options -->Filters -->New.

Figure 13-15: Left: The vertical bar at the left edge of a message
indicates material that is being quoted or forwarded. Right: Eudora
filters at work screening out spam junk mail.

A trial version of Eudora is included with this book. It's available
from www.qualcomm.com/pdq as shareware, or with the Qualcomm pdQ
PalmPilot/cell phone itself.

MultiMail

Like Eudora for Palm, MultiMail is an impressive, full-featured.....

Like the other state-of-the -art Palm e-mail programs,
One-Touch Mail can quickly download only a list of your
waiting mail; just tap the ones whose full-length bodies
you'd like to download the next time you go online.

It now reads:

One-Touch Mail 2.0 is the most connectable e-mail program
available. It can send and receive messages regardless of the
modem: via snap-on Palm modem, by Novatel wireless modem, by
infrared (and wirelessly) via Glenayre pager or an
infrared-equipped cell phone, by attachment kit to other cell
phones, and so on.

The Palm/AOL Collaboration

The final word isn't yet in on the America Online/Palm
relationship. In 1999, the two companies announced an alliance
that will bring AOL e-mail to the Palm platform-both in a Palm
VII wireless version and a standard Palm modem-compatible
version. News will be posted at http://palmpilot.oreilly.com
when the time comes.

Has been changed to read:

AOL Mail for Palm Organizers

If you've got 425K to spare on your palmtop-that's a lot-the
least expensive and most official method of checking your
America Online messages is the AOL/Palm joint project called AOL
Mail (included on this book's CD).

You specify your screen name and local AOL phone number (which
the program offers to look up for you), and you're in business.
You see "tabs" for New Mail, Read Mail, and Sent Mail; you can
delete, forward, and reply to messages in the usual ways. Requires
a Palm III or later and a clip-on modem.

The future of iMessenger

Clearly, iMessenger is very well designed for its advertised purpose --
the creation and reception of short messages sent by Internet email. In
this limited scope -- as a sort of email-based pager -- iMessenger is
fine.

As an actual email program, however, iMessenger has plenty of room to
grow, especially when it comes to accessing your messages in other
ways. It would be nice, for example, to be able to view your messages on your
desktop PC, in the Palm Mail application, or even at the Palm.Net Web
site, for those occasions when you want to check your email without
racking up your Palm.Net bill.

Palm Computing is well aware of iMessenger's fledgling status, and is
already at work expanding its capabilities. Since the software in the
all current Palm models can be upgraded using a software updater,
enhancing iMessenger in the future will be a simple matter of
downloading an updating program from the Web and running it while your
Palm VII is sitting in its cradle.

It now reads:

But while we wait for Palm Computing to beef up iMessenger, proceed
immediately to www.thinairapps.com. There you'll find the remarkable
(and free) ThinAirMail program, which lets your Palm VII get e-mail
from your existing Internet email address. ThinAirMail neatly bypasses
one of the iMessenger's biggest limitations-its demand that you use a
separate
e-mail address for your Palm VII.

And what if you have a Palm V, which has neither an unscrewable stylus
cap nor a battery compartment? Well, you could always carry around a
paper clip in your sock.

It now reads:

different stylus versions: one plastic and one metal. A note to the
easily frustrated: The plastic one?s stylus tip doesn't unscrew.

read:

Two new models debut in February 1999: the Palm IIIx and Palm V. Aside
from the physical characteristics described below, one of the most
important internal changes was the introduction of a new processor --
the Motorola Dragonball EZ (instead of the traditional Dragonball).
While similar to its predecessor in many ways, this chip accepts less
expensive memory modules, which means that these models' list prices
may well slip downward even more rapidly than usual.

The new chip requires a new Palm OS to accommodate it: Palm OS 3.1. The
changes are invisible to you; they don't offer any new features. (You
can't install this new OS on any previous model, not that it would do
you any good.)

Unfortunately, several dozen popular Palm programs proved to have
incompatibilities with the new OS. Because software authors generally
scramble to solve such problems, use the Web links on this book's CD to
check for updates of any programs that seem to cause problems for your
your Palm IIIx or Palm V.

<heading2> Palm IIIx

The Palm IIIx looks and works almost exactly like its older brother,
the Palm III. But it offers a few bonuses:

Much clearer screen

The new screen technology, made possible by a new, ultra-thin 3M film
placed behind the display, makes the background lighter gray-green and
the images much crisper.

4MB memory

Enough for 40,000 names, notes, dates, and so on.

A more rugged design

For example, the memory module inside is no longer a separate card that
can come loose. Instead, memory is fastened directly to the main
circuit board.

An interior slot

Moving the memory module onto the main circuit board means that an
available slot remains on the circuit board. You could conceivably
filled the slot with still more memory -- or add-on circuitry not even
imagined yet.

Free HotSync extras

The Palm IIIx package includes the Network HotSync software (described
in Chapter 6, HotSync Step by Step) and a software module that lets you
HotSync with Microsoft Outlook for Windows. Both were once extra-cost
options.

It now reads:

Fourth Generation: Palm IIIx, IIIe, and Palm V
