Product Description
iPhone Fully Loaded is a one-of-a-kind reference that teaches you how to fully exploit the power of your Phone or iPod touch. Clear step-by-step instructions teach you how to convert any form of home, office, or online media -- dusty LPs, movies on DVD, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, downloadable books, comic books, as well as music and video to an iPhone or iPod Touch compatible format. Written by wildly popular technology expert and Chicago Sun Times columnist Andy Ihnatko, iPhone Fully Loaded is a full-color guide designed to work for both Mac OS X and Windows users. From uploading Web pages to downloading television shows and a variety of documents, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, the iPhone does much more than make phone calls, play music, and send e-mail.

 Yes, Andy Does Ramble... April 2, 2008

...but that is what makes his books interesting. The problem with so many "how to" books is that they're boring as watching cheese ferment and I end up falling asleep in bed after barely reading a page. I've never had this problem with any of Andy's books, from the OSX Tiger one, the iPod one or this one. He cracks jokes which helps to keep you engaged with the material, something very few 'Dummies' or 'Complete Guide to' books do.
This book is great for showing you how to do things with the iPhone that it wasn't really intended to do. It's sort of a book on how to 'hack it' without having to actually 'hack it'.
If you don't know how to get your email or how to put music on the iPhone, this is not the guide for you. However, if you're looking at your iPhone and wondering, "hmm, what other interesting stuff can I do with this while I wait for Apple to release Applications for it", then this is the perfect book.
If you're still worried that you might not like the book's style, check out the authors website (his last name dot com) and read some of his review of tech gadgets. If you then think "OMG, I can't stand this guy" what is wrong with you? No seriously, if you find his reviews hard to follow, then this would not be the book for you.
Beyond the Basics February 18, 2008

If you're looking for an instruction manual on the basics of the iPhone, this is not your book. Look up the owner's manual on the apple website for free or read one of the many other books on iPhone basics. If you're ready to take the next step in expanding your grasp of not only the iPhone, but also the entire web, this is your book. This book was exactly what I was looking for.
As others mentioned, this book does not describe some of the basic features of the iPhone, but assumes the reader already knows most of these things. It instead delves into how you can utilize web programs and iTunes to your advantage to overcome certain limitations of the iPhone. I have already ready some chapters several times and find new information every time. Andy Ihnatko has a humorous writing style and this was a very enjoyable read. I will continue to reference this book after I have finally retired it from the reading pile.
I will definitely look forward to any future books by Mr. Ihnatko.

If you are looking for a book to show you how to use the features of the iphone, this isn't the book for you. If you already know how to use it's standard feature and you're wondering what else can I do with this wonderful toy, then this is a great book. Not everything in it will be of interest to everybody, but there's something for everybody.

I think of myself as a person who understands technology easily. I usually find innovative ways to use things on my own. In this case I learned so many ways to use the iPhone which I had never even considered. Although it was humbling to realize I had missed so much, it is great to be exposed to so many innovative uses of the iPhone. I ended up with a better appreciation for the phone and the author.
Easy and fun read with tons of info January 24, 2008

The author of this book has a way of writing that attracts the reader, and wants to keep one reading. This book is not one of those boring manuals that will put you to sleep, one will begin learning from the first chapter, and what is read will always be remembered, cause you will have fun playing around on your iPhone while reading. This book is a must have for any iPhone owner, as it goes beyond the basics, and actually teaches you things you would not learn without reading this work, or by hanging out with someone that has read it.
