Customer Reviews

Don't waste your money.
Three hours of reading and I still feel helpless with my I-touch. I am a collage grad. I've read text books that are better written.

Disappointed in myself
I bought this book recently as I wanted to learn even more about probably the greatest, most enduring gadget of this generation. Unfortunately, and I entirely blame myself for not reading further, the book is about 24-30 months out of date. This, in gadgetry terms, is aeons. Nonetheless, I found one or two things I didn't already know, so it wasn't entirely wasted. I guess what is really needed is an updated version to take in the latest ipod developments.

Ipod Novice
For an Ipod novice this book is great. The pictures of the different steps to accomplish a task makes this the book to get!
