2.0 out of 5 stars Rather disappointing February 23, 2012
By pamc
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought this would be a really helpful book to have in sorting thru all the different apps for my new iPad, but I was really disappointed with the overall content. For me, there were only a few apps that sounded interesting, but overall I could have found the same info in the Apps Store and saved myself $13

5.0 out of 5 stars very helpful considering you can't find all this info on your own July 10, 2011
By M. Denniston
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Someday when Apple gets it together and puts out a manual you can actually buy, instead of printing out their on-line manual and wasting your ink and paper, this will still be useful because a collection of apps and their sites is always useful information.
