Customer Reviews

Who says "how to" books need to be dry?
Those of you who are familiar with Andy Ihnatko through his books, blogs, or podcast appearances know what to expect. Those who are not....are in for a treat.

I would say this book will be most appreciated by those who already know the basics of the phone but want to know how to use it to do MORE. There are a number of books that give basic iphone instruction, but they only scratch the surface of the full potential of the iphone. This book is FULL of software and application suggestions to take full advantage of your new toy.

In the process of instructing you into the capabilities of the iphone as a tool, a toy, and more importantly a platform for future developement, Andy will make you laugh along the way. I bought this book as much for the entertainment value as for the information. I was not disappointed!

If you have no sense of humor, you may wish to choose another option.
But then again, who buys an iPhone if they don't want to have fun? Otherwise, you'd be carrying a BlackBerry.

Not your ordinary iPhone "How to" iPhone book
I read the iPhone: The Missing Manual: Covers the iPhone 3G by David Pogue and it served as a "user guide" to most things iPhone. I recently bought Andy Ihnatko's 2nd Edition of iPhone Fully Loaded expecting it to be a tool to fill in some missing holes but mostly a repeat of the information in Pogue's book. WRONG! Andy has a first class way of delivering information from every nook and cranny. I have listened to Andy on podcasts such as MacBreak Weekly and I regularly read his blog so I knew what to expect by way of humor. What I did not expect was his fantastic way of delivering bits of information and tips that feel like a friend inside of the business 'whispering and waving for you to come over here so he can show you something few others know about.' I kept a notebook nearby while reading Andy's book so I could jot down every tidbit of information he shared. If you can afford to buy two books about the iPhone, then get iPhone Fully Loaded (2nd ed.) and iPhone: The Missing Manual by David Pogue. If you can only afford to get one, get this one (sorry, David!)

Great for getting the most out of your Iphone
This book is great for taking advantage of all the semi-unknown aspects of your IPhone. I especially like the instruction on making use of video, such as flash, that I didn't think was possible. The style of writing makes it easy to follow the directions.
