Book Reviews of iPhone 3GS Portable Genius: Also covers iPhone 3G
Book Review: Deceptive Information!
Summary: 1 Stars
For a book that supposedly was released on or around the early days of August 2009 (as stated) there is not one review that at the very least is as new. I find this confusing, aggravating and somewhat deceptive. Yes, I understand that there may or may not exist previous works by the same author and that is fine and dandy but what does it have to do with this so called new release? I will never know! Amazon is dragging its successful formula and in the process is offering reviews that are not pertinent for they are outdated. Many may not agree with me but when I like to purchase something released in August 2009 I do not welcome reviews from years before. Same is going on with Iphone for Dummies which the newest release was announced for early August 2009 (as stated) yet all of the 16 reviews are from the past years. But yet they announce on the title offered that it is about a newer technology, in this case Iphone 3gs not 3g. So maybe I am too demanding and maybe I do need a personal copy of a how to kind of book for the recently released Iphone 3gs (released late June 2009?) why do outdated reviews appear on a newer release? Yes, I also get that in the case of book for dummies they have been around for years and that is great for them and probably the older reviews mean to validate their existence, whatever the reason it has not a thing to do with a new book because only new reviews of that particular book are pertinent. I prefer no reviews appeared, which would also tell me something about the book, than reviews from a previous release. Perhaps reviews are hard to come by and must be milked for all they are worth. Had to bring it up!
