Book Reviews of iPhone: The Missing Manual
Book Review: What a Waste!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was skeptical about this book from the beginning. I mean, you take something as simple and intuitive as an iPhone and there really is no need for it. Tricks? What tricks? I discovered most of the 'tricks' in Pogue's manual in about a week of playing around with the thing on my own. I was so disgusted with the lack of substance in this book that I sent it back to Amazon the same day I got it. I like David Pogue's columns, but I am extremely disappointed in this book.Book Review: Great gift
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my cousin who has an iPhone for Christmas. In the 5 minutes he read through it while we were all opening presents, he figured out how to do something with pictures that he couldn't figure out how to do before so he was thrilled! His wife calls his iPhone "the other woman" so I was worried that anyone this obsessed with his phone would already know how to do everything and this would be no big deal but he was really excited about it.Book Review: An Excellent Guide to Your iPhone
Summary: 5 Stars
This compact and easy to read book is an excellent guide to your iPhone. Even after reading the Apple documentation (electronic) that came with my iPhone I still had questions. This book addressed them all in a simple and fun way that was enjoyable to read.
The book has lots of color photos and screen shots as well as handy tips and shortcuts. I strongly recommend it to anyone who has an iPhone or is considering purchasing one.
Book Review: Book Review and Extra Resources
Summary: 5 Stars
Given that the iPhone doesn't come with a manual, this book is a good shortcut to figure out ways to use your phone, so I highly recommend it.
In case you're interested in learning more, you may also take a look at free eBooks such as the Everything You Need to Know About Your iPhone. Using the phone is really exciting when you learn some of the tips that are available in the book and online.
Book Review: Just buy it...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed Pogue's tech pieces in the New York Times, his podcasts online and now on MSNBC. He writes about our toys. These are all toys to us (as much as we want others to think they are much more). He treats them as such. This book has the details where necessary, but mainly it's a fun trip through all the features of your new toy. Buy it, be smarter when using it, and give Pogue one less day to work on his retirement.
