As usual, Pogue uses wit and an easy to read style to give a great how-to manual for the iPHone.

The little instructional guide that you get with your iPhone will get you up and running, but if you really want to maximize the use of your iPhone you need a book like this one. Remember, this is really a computer that is masquerading as a cell phone. There are many hidden controls and tips for use that will make your iPhone even more incredible than you think it is. The book is easy to read and allows you to jump around to subjects that are most important for you. I could go on, but enough. . . I am glad I bought the book and suggest you strongly consider doing the same.

Pogue’s Missing Manual on the new iPhone is clearly written in a humorous, charming style. He gives the reader many extremely helpful tips and understandable explanations for usage. Bravo to David Pogue!

When I retired five years ago, I was officially –and literally — left to my own devices — no more in-house tech support or paid consultants to keep my gadgets working. Between David Pogue’s column and the kindness of friends and strangers, I was keeping my computer and other electronics working most of the time.

Until I got an iPhone, and in particular the 3GS, which had these apparently great new apps for people with low vision (a state I am slowly inching toward). I knew I would love it if only I could figure out how to use it. Unfortunately, staff at two different Apple stores weren’t much help – those nifty new features were too new, and none of the staff I talked with even knew about them, much less know how to use them. I thought my iPhone days were numbered. Then I went to the library and discovered Pogue’s book on the iPhone in the New Books section. After reading the first couple of chapters, I had to buy it.

Next to my dictionary and thesaurus, it has become the most useful reference book I own. It is highly readable, and the information is organized and indexed logically and intuitively, especially for a post-war baby like me. I agree wholeheartedly with the reviewers who praised this book. It was one of the best investments I ever made. The author truly has a gift – and a calling in helping laypeople like me become more tech savvy.
