8. "PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide" (First Edition)

Best of all, PalmPilots are easy to enhance with software, so there's a steady parade of cool code (most of it free) to play with. In "PalmPilot: The Ultimate Guide," David Pogue explores the full depth of the Pilot's kooky soul from a user's point of view. Read more
