Product Description
Fully updated to cover Apple's new iPhone 3G this show-me-how-to-do-it book 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, who 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 tech 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. You'll quickly learn how to use the most useful and most requested iPhone features so you can start having fun, and start really using your iPhone today--right now. If you're ready to learn just the funk and not the junk, it's all here in the only book of its kind and you're going to love it.

Scott and Terry did it again !! November 8, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
WOW !! Scott and Terry managed to write yet another INCREDIBLE iPhone book. Seriously, I thought I knew everything about my iPhone (b/c I have their first edition iPhone book also), but this book informed me of SOOO many useful tips that I was unaware of. Seriously, I think Apple should let these two write the manual that comes with the iPhone.... B/C then there would be no reason for anyone else to even attempt writing an iPhone book... it covers EVERYTHING !! Even if you think you know everything about your iPhone... YOU DON'T until reading this book... ; )
Highly recommended : )
If you have an iPhone, you need this bok. November 8, 2008

I got this book as a gift and figured I probably didn't need it. After all, the iPhone is a breeze to use, right? I honestly thought I knew everything I needed to know about it. But holy cow, I found out that there's a whole bunch of stuff that I really didn't know and that the phone has hidden power I'd never tapped. The Killer Tips & Tricks chapter is awesome. I never realized how to access special characters on the keyboard or other domain types besides .com, how to change the size of the caller ID photo, and OMG how to jump to the search field in contacts. Plus, the layout of the book, much like the iPhone itself, is very easy to navigate and use.
Great Resource! October 31, 2008

What a great book to have to learn all about the iPhone.
There are how to tips, little known features, and great ideas on really personalizing your iPhone.
One of my favorites is creating your own wallpaper business card for your iPhone.
Whether you've had your iPhone for awhile, or just got one, you'll find many tips in this book for you.
Very useful "how to" guide to the iPhone/iPod Touch October 30, 2008

This is the second edition of Terry White and Scott Kelby's "The iPhone Book". It's been updated for the new firmware and the 3G iPhone. Like the first book, this one is primarily a "how to" guide, and it does that very well. Every page has a different, focussed "how to" item, from the simple things for first-time owners (like how to turn the thing on!) to more complex items (such as viewing RSS feeds on your iPhone).
What's really nice about the way this book is organized is that you don't have to read through the whole thing. If you're already pretty familiar with your iPhone, you can just look over the Table of Contents for subjects that interest you, turn to that page, and find how how to do it. Because each page is tightly focussed on just one thing, and illustrated with a photo, it makes it very quick and easy to learn about a particular subject. It also makes the book a handy reference down the road when you try out a feature for the first time (which is how I used my first edition with my original iPhone).
The book is written in a very casual style, so you won't feel overwhelmed by jargon or technical details. There are also extra tips at the bottom of many pages relating to the subject at hand. Some of them direct you to programs or web sites that are related to the page subject.
All in all, this is a great book for getting the most out of your iPhone (and, for the non-phone/camera portions, your iPod Touch as well). No matter how much you *think* you know about the iPhone, you *will* find some information in this book that you didn't know (but will be glad you learned).
