PALMPOWER MAGAZINE - FEBRUARY 1998

Capturing PalmPilot screenshots
If you write about the PalmPilot, whether it's for publication or for internal corporate use, you'll need to capture images of the PalmPilot's screen. You'd be amazed at the hoops some authors jump through to capture Graffiti scratchings and PalmPilot screens. But once you read this article, you won't have to jump through any flaming rings of fire because easy screenshots will always be a few taps away.

Displaying pictures on your PalmPilot
Contributing Editor Bob Freud is really into his PalmPilot. Instead of showing off printed snapshots of his children, he pulls out his PalmPilot and shows digitized images of his kids on screen. It's not entirely clear if he's prouder of his kids or his PalmPilot! Now you too can be proud: download photos, maps, and even presentations into your PalmPilot.

Third party applications and your PalmPilot
Soup up your PalmPilot. One of the most useful capabilities of your PalmPilot is it's ability to run additional software. There are hundreds of programs you can download and try. This important article shows you how to install, organize, and backup your add-on software.

The great PalmPilot giveaway
There's an interesting new trend in the corporate world: using the PalmPilot as a motivational tool and a giveaway incentive. In this timely article, Contributing Editor Richard Echeandia explores how you can motivate and sell using the PalmPilot as a giveaway. He also points out some free contests where you can enter to win your own PalmPilot device.

Tips to improve your Graffiti recognition
Our most popular article last month was about Graffiti shortcuts. Since this topic is so popular and universal, Contributing Editor Calvin O. Parker has put together a wonderful set of tips that will help you write even the toughest characters.

Part 2: Jeff Hawkins, creator of the PalmPilot
We continue our fascinating discussion with the the father of the PalmPilot in Part 2 of The PalmPower Interview with Jeff Hawkins. Jeff shares with us interesting insights into the design and execution of the PalmPilot, along with some ideas for the future.

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
What a month!
We've been trying to find a word to describe our first month of PalmPower Magazine and the word that keeps coming to mind is Yowzah! This has been an absolutely amazing four weeks. It's clear that PalmPower struck a chord among PalmPilot users worldwide. Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz shares what he's learned about PalmPower and you in our first thirty days.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Shopping lists and built-in applications
Every day, we get mail from our readers. Most letters are posted in the daily Reader Mail pages, reachable from the "PalmPower News Center". But there are some letters that we think would be better served in a monthly letters to the editor column. This month: more on shopping lists and extending the built-in applications.

TECH SUPPORT INSIDER
Recovering lost PalmPilot data
