How Palm was able to make the Palm V so small
PalmPower scores another exclusive this month with this important article by Motorola engineer Brian Smith. If you've been wondering how Palm managed to make the Palm V so small, now you can find out. Although by nature technical, this article makes understanding the functions of the processor inside the new Palm V and Palm IIIx devices clear to everyone.
Text Magic with MagicText
Since the use of Graffiti is so integral to everyone's use of the Palm organizer, any time we can find you a way to save Grafitti entry time, we consider that a big win. Vicki Brown has found such a way in a program called MagicText. MagicText doesn't make the entering of new text easier, but it makes the manipulation of text already in your Palm device much, much easier. To find out how, read this article today.
BrainForest companion for the Mac desktop
Macintosh users are finally getting rewarded for their platform loyalty. BrainForest is a well-respected outliner for the Palm device. Now, there's a companion application for the Macintosh desktop. In this interesting article, contributing editor Bob Freud shows you how you can write your outline on your Palm device and edit it on your Mac.
How to produce better expense reports
PalmPower contributing editor Jeff Carlson has found what we've all needed for a long time. If you've ever needed to capture and report expenses in the hopes of getting an expense reimbursement, you should check out this review. Jeff looks at Palm Expense Creator from Shana. This handy little program doesn't replace your Expense application on the Palm device. Rather, it provides a whole host of reporting options you can use from your PC and, yes, your Macintosh.

HotSync tips and tricks
All Palm device users are pretty darn familiar with the HotSync capability of their devices. But if you want to do a HotSync at home and at work, or share a computer among two Palm device users, things get just a little trickier. In this helpful tutorial, Fredlet takes you through making it happen.
Solitaire Antics Deluxe
How many meetings have you been in? How many times were your eyes rolling back in your head out of sheer, total, unbelievable boredom? How often did you wish you could be anywhere else, doing anything else? But no. Your presence was required in that meeting and you darn well had to look busy.

Put a doctor in your pocket: a guide to medical and health-related Palm device resources
They're not doctors and as far as we know, neither has even played one on TV. In fact, we've heard unsubstantiated rumors that they both grow faint at the sight of blood. However, lack of professional experience, training, and general common sense never stopped our intrepid columnists before. So it is with just such aplomb and a complete lack of formal knowledge that our unflagging writers dissect some of the vast medical and disease-related resources available to Palm device owners.
FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Some days it's just so good to be me
Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz has been taking his megalomania pills again. They're big pills. Big, important pills. He's got a new, exciting magazine, a company with a new, exciting name, and he just won an award for Best Sales and Marketing Strategy from the New Jersey Technology Council. In other words, he's being insufferable again. He's also, vocally -- very vocally -- demanding a foot massage. It's just another month on that roller-coaster column we call "From the Editor-in-Chief".
