Product Description
With iPhone Hacks, you can make your iPhone do all you'd expect of a smartphone - and more. Learn tips and techniques to unleash little-known features, find and create innovative applications for both the iPhone and iPod touch, and unshackle these devices to run everything from network utilities to video game emulators. This book will teach you how to: import your entire movie collection, sync with multiple computers, and save YouTube videos; remotely access your home network, audio, and video, and even control your desktop; develop native applications for the iPhone and iPod touch on Linux, Windows, or Mac; check email, receive MMS messages, use IRC, and record full-motion video; run any application in the iPhone's background, and mirror its display on a TV; make your iPhone emulate old-school video game platforms, and play classic console and arcade games; integrate your iPhone with your car stereo; and, build your own electronic bridges to connect keyboards, serial devices, and more to your iPhone without 'jailbreaking'. "iPhone Hacks" explains how to set up your iPhone the way you want it, and helps you give it capabilities that will rival your desktop computer. This cunning little handbook is exactly what you need to make the most of your iPhone.

About the Author
David Jurick was tragically born a siamese twin. His twin happened to be a PC computer with a 1394a umbilical cord linking the two. Thus, he's been around computers for a considerable amount of time. He has extensive experience in such topics as networking, hardware, software, and HTML programming. He graduated high school in 2001, and then went on to pursue a degree at U.C. Santa Barbara. While in school he helped found the Kappa Sigma fraternity at U.C.S.B. In 2006 he graduated with a B.S. degree in pharmacology. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Adam Stolarz is a writer, gadget-user, and gamer, who has been using and defending Apple products since his earliest technological memories. Before graduating high school in 2007, he worked in the field of in-car computers, dissecting and assembling carputers, and contributing to books about in-car hacking and internet video. As a tech-inclined Millennial, he has always kept a Mac laptop in his possession as the most stable, productive link in his computing chain, while keeping a PC as a lovable old crashable gaming machine. He is also an avid user of mobile information, maps, the web, communication, etc. He can't wait until his iPhone does every single thing his laptop can. He lives in Los Angeles, California.

Damien Stolarz is an inventor with a decade of experience making different kinds of computers talk to each other. After studying Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at UCLA, Damien co-founded Blue Falcon Networks (formerly Static Online, Inc.), where he supervised, architected and developed networking software for 7 years. He has written and spoken at conferences about Internet video, content delivery, and Peer-to-Peer networking, and created Robotarmy in 2002 to provide high-technology consulting in these areas.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars You need to jailbreak your phone..., 6 May 2009 By  J. Finkhaeuser - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    ... to do many of the things described in the book. Unfortunately, the description here on amazon suggests you don't need to -- but the first chapter very quickly tells you otherwise (page 5). I bought the book specifically because of the "no jailbreaking" promise, so it doesn't fulfil it's promise to me. Misleading marketing like this should really be punished harder than the medium rating I'm giving the book... but I've got to reflect the fact that I've stopped reading the instant I realized it wasn't the book for me. It might be good if you're looking for a book about what you can do with a jailbroken iPhone/iPod touch. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
