Product Description
Here is your essential companion to Apple’s iPhone! The iPhone Pocket Guide, Third Edition covers all iPhone models including the new iPhone 3G. Unlike other iPhone books, The iPhone Pocket Guide, Third Edition was written based on the final release of iPhone 2.0 software and the iPhone 3G, and the content accurately reflects the design of your iPhone 3G and how you will use it. Author Christopher Breen has been covering the iPod and iPhone from the first day of their releases. This affordably priced Pocket Guide incorporates snappy writing and eye-catching graphics as Breen steers you through how to:
 
  • Set up and quickly start using your phone/iPod/Internet device.
  • Download applications from the App Store.
  • Make and receive calls and send text messages with your phone.
  • Keep everything in sync between your Windows PC or Mac and your iPhone.
  • E-mail family and friends using your carrier’s wireless network or a Wi-Fi hotspot.
  • Listen to songs and podcasts, and watch movies and TV shows (and YouTube!).
  • Browse the Web using the built-in Safari browser.
  • Figure out where you are with the iPhone’s location services.
  • Fix common problems, and learn what to do if you can’t fix them yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK, August 31, 2008
By "Sam" "iphone lover" (Morgan, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This book is just OK. I also bought iphone-the missing manual which I thought was much better. It covered more topics in depth with more clarity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, October 4, 2007


I love this book! Without it I would miss many of the finer points of the IPhone. Easy to read and understand. Had a quick tutorial at the Apple Store but this book is much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, December 29, 2007
By R. Anderson (Petoskey, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
A very useful reference for the iPhone. I've been using Mac's since 96, but wanted to know as much useful information as possible about the iPhone. Chris Breen, for those who don't know him, is a witty, articulate editor for Macworld magazine, and contributes much to Macintosh community. You won't be sorry you got this book, unless you designed the phone yourself you'll be helped and entertained by this book,
Like his other book, The iTunes & iPod Pocket Guide this book won't fit in your average pocket.
You can't go wrong
