He started writing one of the first daily Apple online publications (O'Grady's PowerPage) in 1995. After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006 O'Grady set a precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the first amendment as the main stream media.

More About the Author

Jason D. O'Grady developed an affinity for Apple computers after using the original Lisa, and this affinity turned into a bona-fide obsession when he got the original 128 KB Macintosh in 1984.

He started writing one of the first Web sites about Apple (O'Grady's PowerPage; www.powerpage.org) in 1995 and is considered to be one of the fathers of blogging. He has been a frequent speaker at the Macworld Expo conference and a member of the conference faculty.

After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006, he set the precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the First Amendment as members of the mainstream media.

O'Grady is the author of The Nexus One Pocket Guide, The Droid Pocket Guide, The Google Phone Pocket Guide, The Garmin nüvi Pocket Guide (Peachpit Press), Corporations That Changed the World: Apple Inc. (Greenwood Press), and a contributor to The Mac Bible (Peachpit Press). In addition, he has contributed to numerous Mac publications over the years.

When he's not writing about Apple for ZDNet at The Apple Core (http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple), he enjoys spending time with his family in southern New Jersey.

4.0 out of 5 stars Help for the learning curve, February 26, 2010
By 
This review is from: The Google Phone Pocket Guide (Paperback)
I purchased a Motorola Droid, which I love. This is my first smart phone so there is a definite learning curve. This book helped me to level out that learning curve. It may be a little bit outdated, not a lot, but with technology moving forward as quickly as it is it is difficult to find books that are right up to the moment. I think that it is a well written book and gave me the answers that I was looking for.
