PALMPOWER MAGAZINE - JANUARY 2000

I sync, you sync, we all sync with WeSync
While the handheld device revolution has certainly made organization a whole lot easier, keeping more than one person "in sync" still seems like a far-off dream. Or is it? Contributing Editor Kevin Quin examines one way to keep everyone's schedules on the same track.

QUALCOMM's pdQ 1900 Smartphone
The QUALCOMM pdQ, in development for over a year, is the first example of a Palm device built into a cellular phone. Is the pdQ the greatest thing since sliced bread, or just another geek gadget? Contributing Editor Jason Perlow gives you the scoop.

Exploiting the TRGpro's CompactFlash slot
Last month, Contributing Editor S. Fred "Fredlet" Green brought you a sneak preview of the new TRGpro, the latest and most powerful Palm device to hit the street. Now that the TRGpro is shipping for real, Contributing Editor Jason Perlow tells you how to take advantage of its CompactFlash storage capabilities.

Collaboration on small devices with Wiki
Wiki, or rather the Wiki Wiki Web (Wiki being Hawaiian for "quick"), is a system that allows you and members of your team to collaborate over low bandwidth connections using simple, often text-based browsers. Wikis exist somewhere between news groups and Web pages and can be used for any number of collaborative systems. You can use Wiki as a basis for static or dynamic information, FAQs, discussions, project coordination, or brainstorming, all with free technology. Read this article and get Wikified!

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Welcome to the new millennium
Somehow, our intrepid leader managed to get Bill Clinton, Milli Vanilli, Karen Carpenter, cigars, loincloths, IBM, Eudora, pointy-eared Vulcans, flush-toilets, and Charlemagne all into one reasonably lucid editorial. What can we say? Read it and see if he somehow succeeds in pulling it off.

PALMPOWER MAGAZINE BOOK CLUB
Buffy, Angel, Socrates, and a few agile managers
Now that you (and your computer) have presumably survived Y2K, PalmPower's Book Club Editor Judith Tabron manages to discuss Socrates and the sad Doyle death scene (from the popular TV series Angel) all in the same article. It gets better: there's a Buffy episode guide and a retro guide to being a good manager.
