Description:

The new iPhone 3G is here, and New York Times tech columnist David Pogue is on top of it with a thoroughly updated edition of iPhone: The Missing Manual. With its faster downloads, touch-screen iPod, and best-ever mobile Web browser, the new affordable iPhone is packed with possibilities. But without an objective guide like this one, you'll never unlock all it can do for you.

In this new edition, there are new chapters on the App Store, with special troubleshooting and sycning issues with iTunes; Apple's new MobileMe service, and what it means to the iPhone; and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync compatibility.

Each custom designed page in iPhone: The Missing Manual helps you accomplish specific tasks with complete step-by-step instructions for everything from scheduling to web browsing to watching videos. You'll learn how to:

  • Use the iPhone as a phone -- get a guided tour of 3G's phone features and learn how much time you can save with things like Visual Voicemail, contact searching, and more
  • Figure out what 3G means and how it affects battery life, internet speed, and even phone call audio quality.
  • Treat the iPhone as an iPod -- listen to music, upload and view photos, and fill the iPhone with TV shows and movies
  • Take the iPhone online -- learn how to get online, use email, browse the Web, and use the GPS
  • Go beyond the iPhone -- discover how to use iPhone with iTunes, sync it with your calendar, and learn about The App Store where you can pick from hundreds of iPhone-friendly programs

Teeming with high-quality color graphics and filled with humor, tips, tricks, and surprises, iPhone: The Missing Manual quickly teaches you how to set up, accessorize, and troubleshoot your iPhone. Instead of fumbling around, take advantage of this device with the manual that should have been in the box. It's your call.

4iPhone the missing manual  Sep 27, 2009
I found the book easy to read and contained all the information I needed plus more much much more.iPhone: The Missing Manual: Covers the iPhone 3G
I would also like to add that my purchase of a Kindle for my wife was one of the best presenta I could have given her. So if you or someone you know enjoys reading consider The Kindle as present for them.Kindle: Amazon's 6" Wireless Reading Device (Latest Generation)
Thank You.

I have ordered many Missing Manuals and have found every one has been fantastic for every Apple system I have.

5A Must Have for Every iPhone User  Sep 12, 2009
I've learned so much from this book I don't know where to start so I won't bother. All I can say is, if you own an iPhone you must get this book. Hope he does an update for the 3Gs. I'm sure there's lots of new and hidden features I don't know about.

2Dissapointed in Amazon  Sep 05, 2009
New to the iPhone scene and purchased a 3GS 2 wks ago. Bought this book written for the 3G not realizing that it was out of date for my phone. My fault. Even the suggested items from Amazon to purchase did not show the latest Pouge book for the 3GS. Had no idea it was available. I simply searched Amazon for iPhone accessories and found this book. Am getting some usefulness from this book but would have appreciated an Amazon nanny pop up to let me know it was not the latest version from Pouge on this device. So what did I do, send this book back? No. I am reading it and I bought the latest version for the 3GS from another online retailer. Will not use Amazon any time soon again. LOL.

5David Pogue Is The Very Best Tech Writer  Aug 26, 2009
I watch Pogue's technical videos, shown on the New York Times videos' page, and also read his manuals. They are all excellent. This one may be his very best. I discovered tons of things I hadn't figured out on my iphone just by going through this easy to use book. You can hold the iphone in one hand and go through your manual with the other and easily try new things as you go. I read this in ebook format on my macbook while holding my iphone with my other hand. Pogue also has an excellent sense of humor which is usually absent in technical writing. Having used this book to good effect, I promptly got his Leopard Mac OS Missing Manual book too. It is also terrific. There is not a single question I had about the iphone that this book did not answer. It's rare when a book accomplishes this. I use every aspect of my iphone. I primarily bought it because it was a first rate computer, not because it was a phone. So this book had to cover every use well.
