If you have an iPhone or are planning to get an iPhone in the near future, then you will want to read "My New iPhone: 52 Simple Projects to Get you Started" by Wallace Wang. Although meant mostly for those without very much iPhone experience, this book can be valuable to anyone. I can hear many of you, including my own teenage sons, saying "I don't need a book, I know how to use the iPhone on my own". However, there are so many thousands of things that you can do with an iPhone, it is possible that there are still things that anybody and everybody can newly discover.
Some of the things that you will learn how to do by reading My New iPhone are:
- View weather predictions, traffic patterns, flight information, and stocks
- Take notes, text message your friends, and browse the web
- Customize your iPhone by rearranging icons and changing its wallpaper and sound effects
- Find and install the best new applications and games
- Browse iTunes, listen to music, and watch YouTube videos
- Use Skype to call your family for free
- Create your own ringtones and get free podcasts and audiobooks

It seems so cool. If I ever bought one I would get the book because I would not know what to do with the thing. Trying to put music on my MP3 player still bugs me so I pretty much just give up. I am a book learner and I'm proud of that.
The iPhone is great. I love it, but do waste too much time playing games.
Jennifer,
