PALMPOWER MAGAZINE - FEBRUARY 1999

Optimizing Web pages for handheld devices
At PalmPower, we have a regular practice of scoring the best exclusives. We did it again this month. Marty Kacin, Director of Professional Services at AvantGo, has written a detailed guide about optimizing Web pages so they can be viewed on a Palm device. While this guide is most applicable to designing Web pages for use with PalmPower Product of the Year Award-winner AvantGo, it's also quite valuable for designers who intend pages to be viewed by any handheld browser software.

It's Teal-lightful: TealPoint products reviewed
The top dog in last month's Editors Choice Awards, at least in terms of the number of products awarded awards (say that three times fast!), was TealPoint Software. TealPoint won three awards for TealPaint, TealScript, and TealMeal. Since the small shareware company offers a wide variety of cool tools, we asked our very cool contributing editor, Claire Pieterek, to look at all of TealPoint's products. In this useful review, Claire examines each of TealPoint's products and recommends ways you can get the most out of your Palm device.

Quicksheet: a real Palm computer spreadsheet program
For you avid readers of PalmPower who track Fredlet's every move -- and you know who you are -- this month she's awarding komodo dragons in her monthly review. For February, our hard-nosed contributing editor looks at Quicksheet, a fully-functional spreadsheet for your Palm organizer. How does Quicksheet stack up? Will it make bean counters everywhere topple over in fits of pleasure? Read this article to find out. And if you happen to have a favorite spreadsheet fiend you know and love, be prepared to do some serious catching. That guy's gonna tip right over.

Book Review: Teach Yourself PalmPilot and Palm III in 10 Minutes
We're starting to see more and more great books about the Palm organizer being printed and published. In our new PalmPower Book Review series, contributing editor Bob Freud examines each book in turn, rendering his verdict with a stylus up or down. In this issue, Bob reviews Sams Teach Yourself PalmPilot and Palm III in 10 Minutes, a short, but very helpful little book.

PALMPOWER BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB
If Jack Frost had a PDA: Wintry resources for your Palm organizer
It had to happen sooner or later. If you've been following the follies of our two intrepid columnists, they've talked about sex, they've talked about politics, and they've talked about religion. So when the subject of this month's column came up, they did what anyone else does in a conversational lull, they turned to the weather! With their usual flair, our favorite columnists turn their attention this month to the controversial subject that's plaguing everyone in the northern latitudes: winter. For those readers who dwell in warmer latitudes, they had all kinds of nasty suggestions for you and your balmy breezes, but being a family-oriented publication, they elected to exercise much-appreciated editorial restraint.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Kudos and stickers
What can we say? We love it when you love us. In this installment of our semi-regular Letters to the Editor series, we reprint two letters which just gush all over about PalmPower. We also include a letter from a reader who's concerned about the cost of replacement Graffiti stickers for the Palm device.
