Franks review if iPhone manual [Posted on 2007-11-28]
I wanted a book that gave me everything I needed to know to master my new iPhone. This book seemed like it was the answer, but I was dissapointed. No information as to iPhone file types, etc. The basic stuff was OK.
Good book, fun read [Posted on 2007-12-19]
If you need a good, basic book to help you get into your iPhone then this is the one to buy. Terry and Scott do a good job of making it fun to read about the coolest phone on the planet. Now, if you are looking for a book to teach you how to unlock or jailbreak the phone, this isn't it. There are no secrets about using your iPhone in Europe, or adding it to your Verizon plann. However, if you want to know how to use all of the features that Apple built into the phone, and how to manage the ohone on your computer, then this is a good book. The authors add just enough silliness to make it easy to read and digest, but don't do so at the expense of the real material you'll be looking for.
Jump Start Your iPhone [Posted on 2008-01-21]
I got this book to help my wife better understand her new iPhone Christmas gift. As she was reading there was a great deal of laughter coming from the room, and I thought I was going to end up setting the phone up. Much to my chagrin she set the phone up and gave me a tutorial on stuff I did not even know it was capable of. Great book to get the most from your iPhone.
Do you need a book to learn the iPhone? [Posted on 2008-04-26]
I am a big fan of Scott Kelby books and have purchased many of them. His sense of humor and straightforward style makes learning complex topics much easier (e.g. photography or photoshop). I have to admit that I was disappointed in this iPhone book. If you know nothing about the iPhone, this book will provide a good start. However, I had spent a week with my iPhone when I got the book and after going through it cover to cover found only about 2 things I hadn't already figured out on my own. This is very different than his iPod book where I learned dozens of new things even after using iPod's for years. Also, because of the rapid pace of iPhone software updates, some of this was already out of date. On the plus side, the book is funny, easy to read and covers all the basics.
Good [Posted on 2008-06-19]
I would not suggest this book if you have owned an iPhone for more than a few months. It is pretty basic in the functions that it explains. Plus when the 2.0 software comes out on 7-11-08 a lot of the info will not apply.
