The World Almanac has published much of its 1,000-page reference source for viewing on handhelds. Town Compass, LLC has created the 2002 World Almanac databases for Palm OS handhelds to help keep mobile information consumers informed about important facts and data. World Almanac licensed existing Town Compass DataViewer technology to transform the Book of Facts from a large, static, printed reference publication, into a dynamic handheld information directory, easily referenced by users around the globe. The 2002 World Almanac databases for Palm OS reference directories include World Data (The Year in Review; World Geography & Exploration; World History; and Nations of the World); US Data (Consumer Info; Health & Travel; US Cities & States; US History; and US Government & Defense); and Noted Personalities. The databases are currently available for download in bundles or individually and Town Compass plans on making the directories available on SD Cards in the fourth quarter.
