 Written on September 22, 2008 Summary: Review of iPhone: The Missing Manual is somewhat misnamed. Apple does have a manual for the iPhone. It is a 152-page PDF [...] The Apple User Guide definitely does not replace David Pogue's Missing Manual, not by a long shot. I can't read a page of the Pogue book without learning two new things. I can't read a page of the Apple manual without going cross-eyed. As usual David Pogue is entertaining and informative. His is an excellent book. Written on September 20, 2008 Summary: Simply indispensible I did not buy the original iPhone and I don't have an iPod Touch, so I needed a little coaching when I decided to buy the iPhone 3G. As everyone knows, the small "Finger Tips" manual included with the iPhone covers only the most basic stuff. You need this book for everything else. It is very clearly written and includes great color pictures that pinpoint exactly what you need to tap to make whatever it is you want to happen happen. By the way, I have experienced none of the problems that seem to have plagued some buyers of the iPhone 3G. The 3G service in my area has been great; after several weeks, I have yet to have a dropped call. I've had no trouble synching my phone with iTunes, and there were no production flaws on my phone. So, I would recomend this two step program: 1. Buy the iPhone 2. Buy this book to get the most out of step 1. Written on September 20, 2008 Summary: Why doesn't Apple hire this guy? There was a time when everything under the sun came with large manuals, sometimes more than one, that nobody read. Then we entered the era of sticking the boring manuals on a CD -- and nobody read them. Today, we are lucky if we get a slip of paper telling us how to turn a product on. Thank heavens for people like David Pogue who has finally written a manual that is useful, entertaining and should have been in the box with the iPhone! You are going to learn so much about your iPhone that if you don't buy this book you are actually going to get less of a value out of your new toy than you could if you did buy the book. So just go ahead and buy it already! Everything from the basics, such as managing your contact list, to the most advanced, such as setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN), is covered. Every page will have you holding the book in one and your iPhone in the other trying new things out. For example, I had no idea in the iPhone 2.0 software I could now snag my favorite graphics right out of my email and save them. Coolness! What makes this book so darn good, outside of the material covered, is the sense of humor and ease of reading. The author knows how to keep your attention and knows how to present technical details in an entertaining way. In short, Apple if you are reading this -- hire this guy to write your next iPhone manual! Written on September 15, 2008 Summary: This manual is not only informative, but the writer has such a sense of humor. How helpful Pogue's manuals are. Without this information, I would not be able to access and use the so many of the features on my iphone. Love it! Written on September 13, 2008 Summary: Thorough review of the iPhone--it IS the missing manual David Pogue's "missing manual" for the iPhone is just that--the manual that Apple should have included in the box but didn't (does anybody these days?) The manual is a very thorough, very readable overview of all of the iPhone's features (including the new 3G). The only disappointment was that the book doesn't get much beyond what you would have found in an Apple manual. This is perhaps understandable, given that the book came out within a couple of months of the release of the 3G iPhone and the introduction of the Apps Store (and, of course, the corresponding inability of the iPhone to download new programs from anyplace else). Nonetheless, while I wasn't expecting a manual on "jailbreaking" an iPhone (freeing it from Apple's restriction to the Apps Store, among other things), it would have been nice to have at least some additional "tips and tricks" coverage beyond what was provided. Although the book is an excellent resource, there was ultimately little in it that I hadn't figured out from playing around with the iPhone for a week or two. |
