iPhone: The Missing Manual - Written by David Pogue
Description
The new iPhone 3G is here, and New York Times tech columnist David Pogue is on top of it with a thoroughly updated edition of iPhone: The Missing Manual. With its faster downloads, touch-screen iPod, and best-ever mobile Web browser, the new affordable iPhone is packed with possibilities. But without an objective guide like this one, you’ll never unlock all it can do for you. In this new edition, there are new chapters on the App Store, with special troubleshooting and sycning issues with iTunes; Apple’s new MobileMe service, and what it means to the iPhone; and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync compatibility. Each custom designed page in iPhone: The Missing Manual helps you accomplish specific tasks with complete step-by-step instructions for everything from scheduling to web browsing to watching videos.
There was a time when everything under the sun came with large manuals, sometimes more than one, that nobody read. Then we entered the era of sticking the boring manuals on a CD — and nobody read them. Today, we are lucky if we get a slip of paper telling us how to turn a product on. Thank heavens for people like David Pogue who has finally written a manual that is useful, entertaining and should have been in the box with the iPhone!
You are going to learn so much about your iPhone that if you don’t buy this book you are actually going to get less of a value out of your new toy than you could if you did buy the book. So just go ahead and buy it already!
Everything from the basics, such as managing your contact list, to the most advanced, such as setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN), is covered. Every page will have you holding the book in one and your iPhone in the other trying new things out. What makes this book so darn good, outside of the material covered, is the sense of humor and ease of reading. The author knows how to keep your attention and knows how to present technical details in an entertaining way. RLS
A very nice user friendly manual that everyone with an iPhone should have!
