Make your iPhone even better

iPhone 4 bookLove your iPhone? Bet you don't use all the features and shortcuts it has ...

My iPhone 4 by Brad Miser is a great read and reference manual for the iPhone 4 (as well as 3 and 3GS). It's hard to write a computer book that meets the needs of both beginner and advanced users, but I think that this one does. Screen shots help after the description. Available in print for $16.49 and on the Kindle for $9.99

I've been using an iPhone (well, more than "an" since I keep upgrading to the newer model and passing down my older ones) for 3.5 years and I learned some great new tricks. It has both suggestions and warnings. 

Some like to read a book from front to back - you can also skip topics you're not interested in and come back to read them later if you become interested in a topic. 

This is good for beginners, as it explains basic words like "tap" and "drag" but does so concisely, so that it doesn't bore the advanced user who can benefit from things that aren't in the manual and aren't intuitive. 

Remember - with the free Kindle app on your iPhone, you can download this book to your iPhone and have the reference always on hand.

Great post! I know my Iphone does a lot more than I am using it for. I love the QR reader, my calendar, my contacts, voice dial, around me and all that. I just can't get it to clean the house.

Sharon, as you already knoe I DO live my iphone and I just stopped by to wish you a belated Happy Thanksgiving!  We ran the Austin Turkey Trot yesterday and here is what we caught for dinner...Not really, I would not know where to begin as far as preparation! Heck, I am thankful I could pick up a bird from the local market! ;-D

I hope you had a good one and...maybe even  decide to skip the whole Friday shopping madness and actually relax!

Thanks for sharing this information Sharon. Do you have an Ipad? I really, really want one. I use a blackberry now, but thinking of going to the Iphone.

Kathy - glad you like your iPhone. If you find an app that cleans house, please let me know!

Russell - I'm thankful that we were able to spend some time together in Austin. We celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday so Thursday was quick and easy leftover turkey and fixings. No dishes. My only Friday shopping was one new book on my Kindle - didn't have to leave the house.

Debra - yes, I have an iPad. I not only love it, I think it's a game changing device!
