Customer Reviews

not up to date
The book is a blend of mediocre information. You would expect from a book published in 2006 that it would be all about Windows Mobile 5, it is not! Besides it mixes up the old and the new in the same paragraph! It is utterly confusing. You would expect at the very least a delineation between the two. I was expecting a lot more

Not great for WM 5.0
I bought this book before I got my iPAQ in the hopes that it would give me a head start on using it, but there isn't enough detail on any instructions to actually be able to use the manual. For example, it says includes Windows Mobile 5 model info, but when I wanted to find out how to adjust the Program vs Storage memory slider, it only refers to previous Windows versions. Also, there is a lot of information on how to use your iPAQ phone, which of course I do not have the phone version. Basically a useless book.

Excellent! As a new user of an older model IPAQ with NO documentation, this book got me up and running very quickly.
