 The Proof of the Pudding... July 2, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Like others, I bought this book because it's very handy to have by you when things go wrong, or when you forget how to do something. The iPod Touch is a wonderful little machine, but there's plenty going on 'under the bonnet' so to speak, which you can't remember, and 'My iPod Touch' is a great way of reminding yourself of how to do something that you last did six months ago, but has since escaped you.
At the end, the author offers his email address in case you get into trouble, and boy did I get into trouble trying to download iOS4! The Touch was completely dead. So I sent him a 'Help!' message, and back came good advice which helped resolve the problem. So I can thoroughly recommend Brad Miser and his book.
This is a winner July 1, 2010

This is a great starter how-to book for the itouch. It's informative and well written. The author even responded to an email I wrote him with questions that I had after "playing" with my itouch for a while. This book will stay in my library for a while.

I have been enjoying the use of my ipod touch since Christmas and thought I had it mastered except for a few idiosyncrasies that continued to pop up. It didn't take many pages before I found myself saying, "Oh, that's what that is for" and " I thought you should be able to do that." This book certainly worked better for me than following the tutorial on line as I had done. The step-by-step instructions and the pictures with numbered callouts make progression through the information, clear and easy. The use of colored graphic blocks to lay out each of the instructional topics really helped and makes it very clear when connecting a action with the proper screen information. A new user will find this book also eliminates guessing about what the ipod program jargon means. I found that my intuitive solutions to setting up the new ipod after many years of being a mac user did not always work. Following the book's sequential approach to each part of the ipod's functions corrected my mistakes.
As the user proceeds through the book there are excellent notes and tips included with each of the functions. Although the book does not go into the in-depth workings of the add-on applications, the tips provide reference to additional resources. Another helpful component is the "Its Not All Good" bubbles in many of the sections, which tell you what the ipod's program will not do. The author's insight into annoying characteristics of the ipod touch which can be corrected by changing a setup item, are very valuable. Also, there are some things you may think the touch should do just like your laptop, but you cannot get it to perform. This section directs you back to your other computer and gives an acceptable explanation of why it won't work.
For the user who wants to keep a copy of the book on their ipod, the book comes with a free online edition. Additional bonus material including tasks and information can be found online on the book's website [...].
My Ipod is operating on OS 3.1.3 and the book is written for OS 3.0. OS 4 has been released and I do not know if an update is in the works. I did not find anything on the website to indicate a 2nd edition was in the works.
If you are new to the ipod or have had one for a while and wonder if you are getting the full array of functions the ipod is capable of, this is the book for you.

I found this book to be easy to read and helpful. Each section of the book guides the reader step by step towards understanding what you can do with your iPod Touch so you can best use it.
