The iPhone Book: How to Do the Most Important, Useful & Fun Stuff with Your iPhone

By Terry hite, Scott Kelby, Terry White

If you're looking for a book that focuses on just the most important, most useful, and most fun stuff about your iPhone 4--you've found it. There are basically two types of iPhone books out there: (1) The "tell-me-all-about-it" kind, which includes in-depth discussions on everything from wireless network protocols to advanced compression codes. (2) Then there's this book, which instead is a "show-me-how-to-do-it" book that skips all the confusing techno-jargon and just tells you, in plain, simple English, exactly how to use the iPhone features you want to use most. The iPhone Book is from Scott Kelby, the award-winning author of the smash bestseller, The iPod Book, who takes that same highly acclaimed, casual, straight-to-thepoint concept and layout and brings it to learning Apple's amazing iPhone. Scott teams up once again with gadget guru and leading iPhone authority Terry White to put together a book that is an awful lot like the iPhone itself--simple to use and fun to learn. The book's layout is brilliant, with each page covering just one single topic, so finding the information you need is quick and easy, with a large full-color photo on each page so you can see exactly how it works. Scott and Terry added even more tips and tricks than the previous editions, and made it even easier by focusing on just the most useful and most requested iPhone 4 features, so you can start really using your iPhone today!

Scott Kelby's iPhone book

I really enjoy Scott Kelby's material and this book does not disappoint. Gives a lot of nice hidden tips and techniques - a great resource for iPhone owners!

Having an iPhone without this book is like having a Ferrari without the key

I purchased my iPhone just under a month ago, and was disappointed that it basically came with nothing as far as a user guide, manual, etc. (I guess I should have expected it though, from Apple). I am a little more 'techie' than some people, and I think I figured out a good number of things on my own, or from talking to friends who had an iPhone too, but I decided to go to the store to find a good book on how to use my newest...

New iPhone User

I just recently purchased the iPhone 3GS. I had been considering the purchase for awhile. I wasn't sure how I would like the touch screen, or if it would be a cool toy for awhile and then I would eventually get bored with it. So I decided to take the plunge and buy it. And I absolutely love it thus far. When I was in the store I did not really get a tutorial on how it worked, so I basically went in cold turkey playing...

Makes your high tech purchase a "turnkey" experience!!!

I waited to purchase my iPhone 3GS until this book came out ... it was worth the wait. How many times have we bought high tech gear or software with manuals and directions that take days or weeks to master with comfort of use? This "how to" book makes your iPhone as pleasurable as buying a new car - putting the key in the ignition - and taking off ... the learning curve is almost instantaneous. You are communicating "full...

Gimmee more input .... again!

I reviewed the 2nd edition of this book, and now here is my review for the 3rd edition. This edition INCLUDES info for the 3G, the 3Gs, and the iPod touch. I own many other Peachpit books (mostly for computer software), and three others by these authors: one by Scott Kelby (alone) and two by Scott and Terry White together (including the 2nd edition of this particular book). This is just as fantastic as my other Kelby books,...
