O'Reilly Releases Second Edition Of Missing iPod Manual

O'Reilly Releases Second Edition Of Missing iPod Manual

by , 2:00 PM EST, March 3rd, 2004

O'Reilly & Associates has published a second edition of "iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual". Written by J. D. Biersdorfer, the book examines the ins-and-outs of the popular MP3 player and offers tips and tricks for iTunes. According to O'Reilly & Associates:

There's something about an iPod that makes it hard not to want one--its sleek design, cleverly designed scroll wheel, and the just-right weight in the palm of your hand.

But music playing isn't the only tune the iPod knows. To discover the full range of this device's capabilities, you'll need "iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual", the book that should have been in the box.

In this freshly updated edition, "New York Times" tech columnist J. D. Biersdorfer opens the secret doors of this gleaming beauty and its new colorful spin-off the iPod Mini. She lays bare an astonishing collection of useful tips, tricks, and shortcuts for using your iPod, like these:

  • iPod as PDA
  • iPod as hard drive
  • iPod as e-book
  • iPod as GameBoy

You can find more information about "iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual" at the O'Reilly & Associates Web site. The book is available for US$24.95.
