Product Description

iPhone Fully Loaded is a one-of-a-kind reference that teaches you how to fully exploit the power of your Phone or iPod touch. Clear step-by-step instructions teach you how to convert any form of home, office, or online media -- dusty LPs, movies on DVD, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, downloadable books, comic books, as well as music and video to an iPhone or iPod Touch compatible format. Written by wildly popular technology expert and Chicago Sun Times columnist Andy Ihnatko, iPhone Fully Loaded is a full-color guide designed to work for both Mac OS X and Windows users. From uploading Web pages to downloading television shows and a variety of documents, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, the iPhone does much more than make phone calls, play music, and send e-mail.

Customer Reviews

Fun and loaded with fun projects to maximize your iPhone
I didn't expect to learn anything new from this book but I'm a fan of the Apple Phoneshow (Scott Bourne - Podango) and Andy is a regular on the show. I enjoy his commentary so the book purchase seemed like a "no brainer". I'm not disappointed. The writing style is fun and entertaining -- as if you're talking tech with one of your funnier friends. The book is also visually pleasing with nice layout, screen prints and quality paper. What really impressed me though is the content. Andy didn't slap together yet another gadget book but created a thoughtful and compelling tutorial for a huge number of things you can do with your iPhone (without bricking it) that are both useful and entertaining. Both Mac and PC users will find plenty of opportunities to extend their iPhones.

It is difficult for me to say which tip I liked the best since so many are genuinely useful and most of them give me another good reason to stop lugging my laptop everywhere I go. Buy this book if you want to get the absolute most from your iPhone. It's also the perfect holiday gift for your iPhone fanatic friends - it will keep them busy for the rest of the year.

Fantastic and funny
This book by Andy Ihnatko is one of the most entertaining tech books I've ever read. Not only is Andy's writing style quite personal and irreverent, but the tips he includes can help even power users (like me)! Again, a must buy for those who want to get more than the base functionality out of the iPhone. Recommended!

Great Book!!!
Wonderful book!! Andy Ihnatko has put together a book that is absolutely the best layout, writing style, and content that you could ask for in an iPhone book. I thumbed through at least a half dozen other iPhone books several months ago and found maybe a handful of new things in them. Andy's book is packed full of good and relavent info that is useful and NOT simply how to use the iPhone to check email, listen to music, browse the web, and all the other tasks that anybody can figure out on their own after five minutes with an Apple product. Also, Andy's sense of humor keeps things fun.
