New iPhones with the latest features will be released this summer, and "New York Times" technology columnist and "Missing Manual" series creator David Pogue is right on top of it with a thoroughly updated edition of "iPhone: The Missing Manual". As you'd expect of Apple, the iPhone is gorgeous, and the new edition of this book is as breathtaking as its subject. Teeming with high-quality color graphics, each custom designed page helps you accomplish specific tasks - everything from Web browsing to watching videos.In fact, Apple's sleek machine is so packed with possibilities that without an objective guide like "iPhone: The Missing Manual", you may not appreciate all it has to offer. The iPhone is at least three products merged into one: a phone, a wide-screen iPod and a wireless, touch-screen Internet communicator. The real magic, however, awaits when you browse the Web. You get to see the entire Web page on the iPhone screen. All of this is cooked up with Apple's traditional secret sauce of simplicity, intelligence, and whimsy.David Pogue knows the iPhone inside and out, and he tells you exactly what you need to know to get the most out of it.Full of humor, tips, tricks, and surprises, "iPhone: The Missing Manual" teaches you how to extend iPhone's usefulness by exploiting its links to the Web as well as its connection to Macs or PCs; how to save money using Internet-based messages instead of phone calls; and how to fill the iPhone with TV shows and DVDs for free. Now, you can either spend days fumbling around with your new iPhone, or quickly learn how to take advantage of it with the manual that should have been in the box. It's your call.
