For my wonderful son, Jordan. It is absolutely a blast being your dad!

SCOTT KELBY

For my mom, who always taught me to do the right thing, and for my dad, who inspired me and pushed me to succeed. I also dedicate this book to Steve Jobs. If it were not for his vision and determination, the iPhone and many other tech gifts that enhance our lives would not exist.

TERRY WHITE

This is the sixth book Ive been lucky enough to co-author with Terry, and I can tell you from experience that the only downside of co-authoring a book with him is that I only get half as much space to thank all the wonderful people whose help, hard work, and support go into making a book like this.

To Kalebra: My wonderful, amazing, hilarious, fun-filled, super-gorgeous, and loving wife. Your spirit, warmth, beauty, brains, patience, and unconditional love continue to prove what everybody always saysIm the luckiest guy in the world.

To Jordan & Kira: You two bring immeasurable joy to my life, and Im so proud and tickled to be your dad. I couldnt ask for anything more.

To Jeff: You are the world standard that all brothers should be judged by. No wonder everybody loves you the way they do!

To my co-author Terry White: Youre the one who convinced me to do this book, and without your many ideas, your influence, and your great writing, this book would never have seen the light of day. Im truly honored to have shared these pages with you, and to count you among my very best friends.

To Kathy Siler (my secret weapon): Without you, Id be sitting in my office, mumbling and staring at the ceiling. Thanks for doing all the hard work, and making my work life have calm, order, and sense, and for making it all a lot of fun. You are the best.

To my editor Kim Doty: I just love working with you. How can you not love working with someone who always has such a warm smile, such a great attitude, and does such great work? Thanks doesnt cover it...but...thanks.

To Cindy Snyder and Jessica Maldonado (my book editing, design, and layout team): I just love working with you guys, and Im constantly impressed and amazed at the quality of what you do and how quickly you can do it.

To Felix Nelson, my brilliant Creative Director: What can I say? You are the best in the business and ideas and art flow out of you like a Pez dispenser. Im a very lucky guy to even get to work with you. Thank you, my friend, for everything you do for me and our company.

To Dave Moser: Getting to work with my best buddy every day is definitely a blessing, but the way youre always looking out for me takes it to a whole new level. :-)

To Jean A. Kendra: Thanks for watching the other side of our business and for being such a great friend over the years.

To Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel, Ted Waitt, Sara Jane Todd, Scott Cowlin, and all my friends at Peachpit Press: Thank you for making the book-writing process virtually painless, and for having me as one of your authors.

To John Graden, Jack Lee, Dave Gales, Judy Farmer, and Douglas Poole: Your wisdom and whip-cracking have helped me immeasurably throughout my life, and Im both grateful and totally in your debt.

To God and His Son Jesus Christ: Thank You for always hearing my prayers, for always being there when I need You, for blessing me with such a wonderful, joy-filled life, and such a warm, loving family to share it with.

Its not every day that I get to work on a project that is both challenging and fun at the same time. Writing a book such as this takes a lot of focus and attention to detail. Although there were many late nights and much time spent away from my family, they didnt complain once. I have an amazing wife who knows that one of my passions is technology and gadgets, so she completely understood when I said, Hey, guess what? Im going to co-author The iPhone Book with Scott! Carla is my balance and she helps me in so many ways every day.

I have two amazing daughters: Ayoola is both smart and constantly focused on taking it to the next level. I see so much of myself in her at times that its scary. My youngest daughter, Sala, has many of my other traits. She makes me laugh out loud every day and lives to enjoy life. They make those late nights, weekends spent working, and hectic travel schedules worthwhile, because at the end of the day, its all for them anyway.

I have a great sister, Pam, who is the person I go to when I need advice. Its great having an older sibling and shes the best sister a guy could have.

I have to thank all my gadget buddies! Its the guys and gals that I hang out with that inspire me to play and learn about gadgets of all kinds. My colleague Dave Helmly is probably more of a gadget freak than I am. Nine out of 10 times, when I call him to tell him about a new toy, hes already got one in his hands and starts telling me about it. My buddy Larry Becker is always calling me and letting me in on the latest gadget that he just heard about or got to play with. Special thanks to Jack Beckman and Chita Hunter for some last minute hot tips, and to Sarah K for always keeping me up to date with the latest tunes and apps that I may have missed. Speaking of apps, I have to thank both my co-authors on www.bestappsite.com, Erik Bernskiold and Jason Lykins, because I couldnt do it without their help.
