Product Description

As you'd expect of Apple, the iPhone is gorgeous, and "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 using Wireless to watching videos. 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.

About the Author

David Pogue is the personal-technology columnist for the New York Times, a contributor to CBS Sunday Morning, a frequent guest on NPR's Morning Edition, and a Discovery Channel series host. As the creator and primary author of the objective and entertaining Missing Manual computer book series, David is also one of the world's bestselling how-to authors. Titles in the series include Mac OS X, Vista, Windows XP, iPod, Microsoft Office, iPhoto, Dreamweaver, the Internet, iMovie, and many others.

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing what exactly???, a few handy tips (and i mean a few), 2 Oct 2007

By	S. Patel "sunil1234" (Croydon, Surrey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this manual as i have an unlocked iphone in the UK on orange. Boy was i dissapointed. Some of the manual is around AT&T specific features (fair enough) but the rest is really that " a manual" - you wouldnt expect to pay for the basic information in this book. Funnily enough i bought this on the rave reviews on amazon.com - what a waste!

If you want a basic manual that you might read once with very generic material then buy this. If you want lots of useful and handy tips FOR FREE then just browse the iphone forums!

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of money & time , 4 Jun 2008

By	Grant Garden (London UK) - See all my reviews

Being Mac AND Nokia literate it did not take me that long to familiarise myself with the iPhone - by making it my primary phone (by porting in my main no.from another o2 account).

I thought this book, judging by its title / subtitle, was going to reveal to me lots of secrets, shortcuts & insights that would allow me to use the phone as I needed to...but alas this was not to be so.

In fact, the book told me very little that I had not already figured out for myself and those sections which I thought would reveal the deeper secrets eg how to archive, edit, re-send texts, how to sms and make calls at the same time - revealed NOTHING as the bottom line for the iPhone at this stage in its development is that as a mobile phone / sms device its a piece of crap & its obvious (as stated in the book) that Americans incl. those at Apple do not use SMS as a basic fact of life like eating & sleeping.

In fact, the book INTRODUCES the reader to the very concept of SMS (WHAT planet IS Amercia on?).

SO unless you are NOT mobile literate nor MAC literate save your money and your time and DON'T buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant read, but not life changing., 6 May 2008

By	D. Miles (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As far as judging books by their covers go, this one actually works very well. The book provides a nice concise introduction to using the iPhone, and discusses everything you'd want to know about how to use the device. Although there isn't much in the book you couldn't figure out for yourself, it's nice to have a complete guide to what you can do. Being semi-official, with Apple being involved at least to provide proper screenshots, and providing review hardware for the authors, the book doesn't touch on any of the slightly less official areas of iPhone use, such as the use of jailbreaking software etc., but that's an area moving so fast that any book would be out of date within a couple of months.

The book feels very conversational, and is a very pleasant read, although if you've already used an iPhone, you may feel the urge to skip quite fast through some areas. You will probably however find a few things that you didn't already know, and coupled with the book's low price, I certainly recommend it if you want to get the most out of the (official) side of using your iPhone, but don't expect anything in the way of redefining your use of the device.
