Fortunately, David Pogue is back with this expanded edition of his witty, full-color guide: the worlds most popular iPhone book.

- The apps. That catalog of 750,000 add-on programs makes the iPhones phone features almost secondary. Now youll know how to find, manage, and exploit those apps.
The iPhone may be the worlds coolest computer, but its still a computer, with all of a computers complexities. iPhone: The Missing Manual is a funny, gorgeously illustrated guide to the tips, shortcuts, and workarounds that will turn you, too, into an iPhone addict.
