Printed | Page 6 top-down image view |
The first paragraph states "top-right edge of the iPhone" but the image is rotated so that the sleep/wake button is on the left. I recommend the image be rotated clockwise so that it would appear as though the user is looking at the top of the phone with the sleep/wake button on the right side. Note from the Author or Editor: |

The text says that the resolution of emailed photos is reduced to 640x480. I'm finding now that such photos are 800x600. Maybe a 3.1 change? |

Printed | Page 25 1st paragraph under "Rearranging the Home Screen" |
The paragraph reads "As you add new apps (icons) to your iPhone, it sprouts new Home screens as necessary to accommodate them, up to a grand total of 11 screens. (That's 180 apps -- and yet that's not the maximum; read on.)" |

Printed | Page 41 Bottom graphic |
In the "(Possible Step 4: Undo)" section, it talks about shaking the iPhone in order to get an "undo" function. The bottom graphic does not show the undo function and is in fact an exact copy of the graphic on the top of the page. |

Printed | Page 14 2nd Tip box |
The last paragraph in the tip box about turning off the vibration when the silencer is engaged says "...see page 335." |
