Hi All,
Does anyone here develop for PDA? I am looking for a template kind of thing for a press release, how to submit it and where to submit it. If you could give some Palm or Pocket PC related information it would be really grateful

Thanks

Go to Google and type in: press release template

You'll find a lot of examples.

Or, wait for my book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1584502142/davidrmsoftwa-20) to come out. I provide an example press release template, an example press release, and even a bit of explanation for how to expand the template into a real press release. :)

PS If you think I'm plugging *now*, just wait until *after* the book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1584502142/davidrmsoftwa-20) is released. ;)

I certainly hope you do because I want to get your book and I totally forgot about it until you posted a reminder in one of your recent posts. So as far as I'm concerned, this is solicited plugging. :)
