Book Reviews of iPhone 3GS Portable Genius: Also covers iPhone 3G
Book Review: Great Book, Great Tips
Summary: 5 Stars
The iPhone 3GS is a marvelous ... almost a miraculous ... device (if I had predicted its features to you just ten years ago you'd have laughed). Out of the box it can do darn near anything. But it's in that little box all by its lonesome: there's scant documentation. The salesman told me it's done that way on purpose: the good folks at Apple want you to play around with it, to go on the web to get a good look "under the hood," to experiment. I figured I'd rather own a "shop manual" to point me in the right direction.
This book far exceeded my expectations. I thought I'd get a book written about the original iPhone, with a couple of chapters tacked on to explore the 3GS. Instead I got a heavyweight ... a full-color book with detailed drawings and step-by-step instructions for using all the iPhone 3GS features it documents. This is a gold mine of useful information, presented in a straightforward, logical manner.
Can you fall in love with a book? This one certainly has made my iPhone experience richer and less painful. A must-have.
