Rapidly developing PalmPilot applications
Have you ever wanted to build your own PalmPilot application? But perhaps you're not a programmer, or perhaps you just don't have the time to build a complex C or C++ application. There is a product called Satellite Forms available that lets you build PalmPilot applications by designing on-screen forms. In this article, Jay Cohan, one of the program's creators takes us on a step-by-step guided tour of how to create a simple application.

Apples in the Drought: using a PalmPilot with a Macintosh
Pity the poor Macintosh user. Sometimes, dedicated Macintosh users feel like unwelcome cousins when it comes to the PalmPilot.

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

It's been a rough month for Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz. A broken arm is never fun. But the show must go on and writing must be done.

You dictate, and to do items show up in the Pilot Desktop and are available on the PalmPilot at the next HotSync.
