The iPhone Book: Covers iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS, Fifth Edition
by Scott Kelby, Terry White
Overview
If you’re looking for a book that focuses on just
the most important, most useful, and most fun stuff about your
iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, or iPhone 3GS–you’ve found
it.
There are basically two types of iPhone books out
there: (1) The “tell-me-all-about-it” kind, which
includes in-depth discussions on everything from wireless network
protocols to advanced compression codes. (2) Then there’s
this book, which instead is a “show-me-how-to-do-it”
book that skips all the confusing techno-jargon and just tells you,
in plain, simple English, exactly how to use the iPhone features
you want to use most.
The iPhone Book is from Scott Kelby, the
award-winning author of the smash bestseller, The iPod Book.
Scott takes that same highly acclaimed, casual,
straight-to-the-point concept and layout and brings it to learning
Apple’s amazing iPhone. Scott teams up once again with gadget
guru and leading iPhone authority Terry White to put together a
book that is an awful lot like the iPhone itself–simple to
use and fun to learn. The book’s layout is brilliant, with
each page covering just one single topic, so finding the
information you need is quick and easy, with a large full-color
photo on each page so you can see exactly how it works.
The first edition of this book was named Best
Computer Book of 2007 and, since then, Scott and Terry have added
even more tips and tricks, and made it even easier by focusing on
just the most useful and most requested iPhone 4S, 4, and 3GS
features (without all the techno-babble), so you can start really
using your iPhone today!
