Appendix B. PalmPilot Accessories
As with any computer, the PalmPilot itself is likely to be only the beginning of your expenditures. A rapidly growing industry of add-ons and accessories awaits your credit card.
The purpose of this appendix, then, is to alert you to the most interesting and surprising add-ons. Who could have guessed that there’s a pocket-sized scanner that can read business cards directly into the Address Book program? Who wouldn’t be intrigued by the EarthMate, a gadget that calculates your exact position on the face of the earth by receiving signals from satellites now in space? And who among us couldn’t use a replacement for the carrying case that comes with the PalmPilot?
Consider this chapter a directory, a wish book, or a mind-expander when it comes to contemplating the potential of this tiniest of computers.
