Hip guide to iPhone - Hey! This is cute. This is cool. This is not your usual dry old user guide. This is a guide written by guys wearing jeans, sneakers and black sweatshirts. The acknowledgements are effusive. When you read, I want to thank my entire family. I truly have the greatest family.... you know that these are American authors. But simply because the language is enthusiastic, doesn t make a bad book and this is anything but bad.One in a series devoted to Apple s portable products all with the subtitle `Portable Genius , this is a guide to the latest version of the celebrated iPhone. It is written in a fun style epitomised by almost the first sentence: Just tap the icon...and the application loads lickety-split. The chapters are straightforward each dealing with a key aspect of the device: configuring, phoning, surfing, emailing, synchronising (using the neologism `syncing ), managing applications - such as the in-built iPod, video-player or camera - and helping organise one s life! Does it do the job? While the youthful tone may sometimes irritate, it covers all the essentials plus many intriguing features that you don t get with the small leaflet that comes with the iPhone in its box. There are so many useful things hidden away on the iPhone that the average user needs a guide such as this to help him or her get the maximum benefit. As well as clear step-by-step instructions, there are colour illustrations galore. There is a useful glossary and a good index.If you want to do more than simply make and receive phone calls on your iPhone, this book will be of great help to you.
