A Must Have for IPhone Owners
| Customer Rating:  | | Excellent and well laid out book. Provides much needed information to get the most out of your IPhone. Apple does provide a manual but it is on-line and does not come with the phone. This book fleshes out the rather sparse Apple provided manual and gives many tips not found elsewhere. Definitely a Buy. |
Brilliant
| Customer Rating: | | Pogue is a genius! And very entertaining too. This little book is packed with facts, history, short cuts, web resources, work-arounds, and humor. You need to read this book if you want to get your money's worth out of your iPhone... |
Incredibly good
| Customer Rating: | This is to a good manual as the iPhone is to the Blackberry Pearl.
Really.
I'm a geek. I rarely buy manuals. When I scanned this in the bookstore, however, I quickly found four important things I didn't know. I gritted my teeth and paid my $25. At $17 with Amazon it's a bargain.
The only manual I can recall that was this good was Pogue's original Palm manual.
It's clear Pogue doesn't write these things any more -- he credits a large technical team and support from several members of Apple's iPhone 2 development team. It's also clear that his hand is on the tiller, and that he's chosen strong people.
I'd compare it the iPhone, but really, the iPhone is much buggier and is missing more features. From the layout, to photographs, to prose to the terrific index this is more like what we hope iPhone 2.2 will be like.
The companion web sight is very well done, and the book comes with directions on a private newsletter subscription.
Buy the book, you'll be happy. |
VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
| Customer Rating: | Do you have an iPhone 3G? If you do, then this book is for you. Author David Pogue, has done an outstanding job of writing a book that is designed to serve as the iPhone manual.
Pogue, begins by covering everything related to phone calls: dialing, answering, voicemail, conference calling, text messaging, and the Contacts program. Next, the author covers the iPhone's ability to play back music, podcasts, movies, TV shows, and photos. Then, he explores in detail, iPhone's third talent: Its ability to get you onto the Internet, either over a Wi-Fi hot spot connection or via AT&T' cellular network. Finally, the author describes the world beyond the iPhone itself--like the copy of iTunes on your Mac or PC that's responsible for filling up the iPhone with music, videos, and photos, and syncing the calendar, address book, and mail settings.
This most excellent book describes everything you need in a pocket computer. More importantly, this book provides updated and expanded information on how to use the new all-in-one (cellphone, iPod, Internet and wireless syncing) iPhone 3G. |
