iPhone: The Missing ManualMost important the information on the product.This manual should be included when they sell the product.It is very clear,and supplies essential and non essential information on additional software available and main use.The manual is very clear,and gets you well informed as a starting manual and as a continuing manual,when you look for comparisons with other products or new application.
Book Review and Extra Resources May 20, 2008
Given that the iPhone doesn't come with a manual, this book is a good shortcut to figure out ways to use your phone, so I highly recommend it.
In case you're interested in learning more, you may also take a look at free eBooks such as the Everything You Need to Know About Your iPhone. Using the phone is really exciting when you learn some of the tips that are available in the book and online.

This "manual" was helpful. It reaffirmed what I had taught myself before it arrived. It is very easy to understand and follow.
iohone: the missing manual May 9, 2008
A+. This man should get a prize. I have been dissapointed in the past with this type of help book, but this is a great book. If you own the iphone you have to buy this it!
Definitely the missing manual, but little more April 27, 2008

"iPhone: The Missing Manual" is definitely a good replacement for the user's manual that was not in the box ... and probably much better than what Apple might have put there. The author covers most if not all of the functionality of the device and includes relevant screenshots and diagrams. His prose is readable and generally devoid of technobabble. It is easy to read, easy to reference, and certainly easy on the eyes.
Pogue's book arguably deserves five of my review stars since the content does indeed follow the title, but it is a little *too much* like the manual in my opinion. While he does present some interesting anecdotes about the development and marketing of the device and some tips you wouldn't ever get from the manufacturer, I expected more from a third party and especially O'Reilly. The troubleshooting chapter is not much longer than one would expect in the manufacturer's version. The "Hacking the iPhone" section, which is where one would think might be the meat in an O'Reilly book, is a disappointing four page appendix.
I wholeheartedly recommend this for the lay user, but the technically-savvy can get all they need from a ten minute perusal at the book store.
