Synopsis

Fill your iPhone with cool stuff, ask it to play a song or call a friend, and find anything with Spotlight!

The iPhone keeps getting better, and this book keeps you in tune with the newest features. The basics are here too: how to use the multitouch interface, set up iTunes and buy music, surf the Web, check and send e-mail and text messages, watch movies and TV shows (and YouTube), admire pictures, download apps — and even make phone calls.

  • Stay organized — synchronize contacts, calendars, e-mail accounts, and bookmarks between your computer and your iPhone
  • Do you copy? — copy, cut, and paste text, photos, and videos from one application to another
  • Record it — capture a thought, a memo, or a meeting with Voice Memos then trim your recording and send it via e-mail or MMS
  • Shake and shuffle your music — create playlists, scroll through your music library, and customize your listening experience
  • Find yourself — identify your location via GPS, get turn-by-turn directions, find true north with the compass, and search for a location

Open the book and find:

  • Steps for getting started with your iPhone
  • How to make a phone call with Voice Control
  • Details about connecting to a Wi-Fi network
  • Easy ways to check the weather and get stock quotes
  • How to connect wirelessly to Bluetooth devices
  • Tips for taking advantage of push notifications
  • How MobileMe can help find your iPhone if it has been lost
  • Advice on troubleshooting your iPhone
