Introduction

As with most products coming out of Apple, the iPhone is beautifully designed and intuitive to use. And although our editors may not want us to reveal this dirty little secret, the truth is that youll get pretty far just by exploring the iPhones many functions and features on your own.

But this book is chock-full of solid information and good advice for getting started with your iPhone. We try to give you a thorough tour of the phone and show you how to sync your data, make calls, send text messages, surf the Internet, send e-mail, take pictures, play music, watch videos, and download iPhone apps from the App Store. We hope you have a great time getting familiar with your iPhone.

Icons Used in This Book

This icon emphasizes the stuff we think you ought to retain. You may even jot down a note to yourself in the iPhone.

Put on your propeller beanie hat and pocket protector this text includes the truly geeky stuff. You can safely ignore this material, but we include it because its interesting or informative.

You wouldnt intentionally run a stop sign, would you? In the same fashion, ignoring warnings may be hazardous to your iPhone and (by extension) your wallet.
