iPhone: the most hyped technology currently in the market, may look very simple to the common man due to it’s self-explanatory user interface. Nevertheless, the iPhone is quite a bit intricate. Actually so much that any geek could write a whole book about the hermetic dimensions of it. De facto, someone has!

Yeah, now there’s a book on iPhone, as if we couldn’t already tolerate enough of the publicity on blogs, news sites, and TV. The author, David Pogue, set on a quest to discover hidden features of the iPhone and publish them into a book called iPhone: The Missing Manual. He brilliantly categorized the topics, & added a well-organized index to offer simplicity for our non-geek friends.

If you would rather not prefer searching for interests by reading the whole book, take a look at the Guided Tour section at the beginning to have a quick overview of the features your new gadget holds. The overview gives you a good insight of what you can learn from this book to make your iPhone more convenient than it already is (kind of hard to believe). The added screenshots give a more vivid picture and help you a lot in understanding the underlying features that you will discover.

A few of the topics covered are how to configure e-mail accounts beyond the account sync feature already provided, how to fool around with the pop-up blocker, manage the web’s settings and understand the various plans offered by AT&T plus more! You can also learn tips for troubleshooting and about the maintenance required for your iPhone. Also, handy tips such as resetting, erasing data, and quitting applications etc. can be very helpful at times.

The book is yet to come out in print; however, you can certainly purchase a PDF version of the iPhone: The Missing Manual. . Although the PDF version will cost you a little more at $24.99, you get the benefit of hyperlinked items to bounce around the book instead of flipping pages and a printed copy is also delivered when available. The printed version is likely to come at the end of this month and at a price tage of $19.99.
