PALMPOWER MAGAZINE - DECEMBER 1999

SimCity for your Palm device
Maxis Software's SimCity is the title that started the entire "Sim" genre back in the late 1980s. Now, with the help of French developer Atelier Software, it's finally come to the Palm Computing platform. Contributing Editor Jason Perlow gives you the run-down on the Palm version of this PC classic.

The Stowaway Portable Keyboard
What's about the same size as your Palm device but enables you to type as easily as you could on a regular PC? It's the Stowaway Portable Keyboard by Think Outside. The Stowaway is an innovative keyboard that can be carried compactly but expands to its full size in use. Read this article by contributing editor Claire Pieterek and you'll have reason to look forward to Y2K.

Springboard stocking stuffers
The holiday season is almost here and Contributing Editor Jason Perlow reviews the first three Springboard modules for the Handspring Visor.

How to choose the right device
Right around this time of year, we get a lot of letters requesting advice on how to choose the right Palm device for the folks on the Christmas List. Claire Pieterek answers one such letter in this informative article.

Developing a Palm VII PQA that reads data from a Domino database
The Palm VII is a very cool device. But to get data into it, a special Palm Query Application (PQA) must be written. In this important article, Bruce Elgort shows you how you can write your very own PQA. But that's not all. If you use Lotus Domino, Bruce shows you how you can download Domino information directly into your Palm VII via a PQA of your own construction. Slick!

What do you know, it's the TRGpro!
Contributing editor S. Fred Green (a.k.a. Fredlet) came back from PalmSource with the toy she won, a pre-production model of the brand-spanking-new TRGpro from TRG. Read her review, and find out what makes this product special.

PALMPOWER SITE OF THE MONTH
Free programs for your Palm device
Free stuff. We all love it. PalmPower's Site of the Month is Trevor's Home Page, a site that has a bunch of free programs for your Palm device with an educational and historic bent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Two mysteries are solved
This month's edition of Letters to the Editor brings us a person who confuses PalmPower with palmistry, and the answer to last month's question about a product that allows you to HotSync multiple Palm devices at once.

TECHNOLOGY SKEPTIC
I believe!
This article was beamed to the North Pole from the Palm device of PalmPower's Technology Skeptic Kevin Quin. Unknown to him, however, it was also intercepted by an astute PalmPower reader in Washington, D.C., who forwarded it to PalmPower. What? You're surprised the North Pole has a receiver powerful enough to pick up an infrared beam from 3,000 miles away? Remember, Santa makes ALL the toys!
