Learn tips and techniques to unleash little-known features, find and create innovative applications for both the iPhone and iPod touch, and unshackle these devices to run everything from network utilities to video game emulators.

Import your entire movie collection, sync with multiple computers, and save YouTube videos
Remotely access your home network, audio, and video, and even control your desktop
Develop native applications for the iPhone and iPod touch on Linux, Windows, or Mac
Check email, receive MMS messages, use IRC, and record full-motion video
Run any application in the iPhone's background, and mirror its display on a TV
Make your iPhone emulate old-school video game platforms, and play classic console and arcade games
Integrate your iPhone with your car stereo
Build your own electronic bridges to connect keyboards, serial devices, and more to your iPhone without "jailbreaking"
