iPhone: The Missing Manual by:
David PogueAs you'd expect of Apple, the iPhone is gorgeous. iPhone: The Missing
Manual is a book as breathtaking as its subject. Teeming with
high-quality color graphics, each custom designed page helps you
accomplish specific tasks -- everything from Web browsing to watching
videos. Written by New York Times columnist and Missing Manual series
creator David Pogue, this book shows you how to get the most out of
your new Apple iPhone.
The name iPhone may be doing Apple a
disservice. This machine is so packed with possibilities that the
cellphone may actually be the least interesting part. The iPhone is at
least three products merged into one: a phone, a wide-screen iPod and a
wireless, touch-screen Internet communicator. The iPhone's beauty alone
may be enough for you to dig for your credit cards, but its Mac OS
X-based software makes it not so much a smartphone as something out of
the film "Minority Report."
The real magic, however, awaits
when you browse the Web. You get to see the entire Web page on the
iPhone's screen. All of this is cooked up with Apple's traditional
secret sauce of simplicity, intelligence and whimsy.
Written
by New York Times columnist and Missing Manual series creator David
Pogue, iPhone: The Missing Manual shows you everything they need to
know to get the most out of your new Apple iPhone. Full of humor, tips,
tricks, and surprises, this book teaches you how to extend iPhone's
usefulness by exploiting its links to the Web as well as its connection
to Macs or PCs; how to save money using Internet-based messages instead
of phone calls; and how to fill the iPhone with TV shows and DVDs for
free.
