Today, PalmSource, the maker of Palm OS, unveiled a new program aimed at helping users of Palm OS-powered PDAs and smartphones get more and better use out of their devices. This program, called "Expert Guides," can now be found online at www.palmsource.com/applications/.
In a nutshell, PalmSource describes the Expert Guides program this way:
Leading Palm OS users have created guides to what you can do with a handheld or smartphone. Learn about software, user stories, e-books, websites, and a lot more. Check in often -- we're adding new guides frequently.
Some of the initial topics covered include Food & Wine, Time and Life Management, and resources for Medical Professionals, among others.
One of the more interesting aspects is that each topic is written by an "expert," and most topics seem to give you a little bit of an introduction to the writer. I hope this program grows, as I think it holds a lot of potential. If you are interested in volunteering to become an expert and cover a topic, go to the PalmSource application page and apply. Members of the program receive prominence, private contact with PalmSource, and $200 in gift certificates toward the purchase of handheld gear of their choice. Wow...fame and fortune all in one.
