Have had both the iPAQ and book for about a month. Have gone to the book many times for answers to problems I am having in how to use the iPAQ. To date, I have had NO luck finding any answers. The book is a total waste of time.

I agree completely with the "severe tech phobia" post. This book is outdated, grossly incomplete and often inaccurate. Pages of descriptions of perpherials you can buy, and discussions of games you can play, but completely lacking in knowledge, tips or facts to make the transistion to a newer IPAQ easier. Setting up email on this device (which has to be the most used application for a handheld), gets three pages of fluff, no substance. It is one of the poorest peices of writing to cross my desk in recent history. Current price is $.40 used, and that is overpriced. There is a great opportunity for someone to write a useful manual on this subject, but this is an opportunity wasted. The clunk you hear is this book hitting the trash.

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

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.
