Gizmodo
See that smiling doofus? He's smiling because he found out that his book How to Do Everything with Your iPhone, also known as the Best iPhone Book Ever, is now on store shelves. Yes, you can schlep down to your local Barnes & Nobles, Borders or Johnny's Books'n'Feed and pick one up for yourself, your parents, your kids, your relatives, your friends, your coworkers and yourself. Mostly for yourself. Best of all, if you ever see that doofus around (say, at CES), you can stop him and tell him that you have his book. He'll be so excited. [Amazon]

When's How to Predict when the Meizu M8 MiniOne is Going to Come Out According to Nostradamus and Other Interesting Postulates due out?
You shameless self-promoters. Great work!
How to do everything? If you have to hold the iPhone in one hand, I suppose the other hand is free to...oh, nevermind.
annnnd .... it's outdated, darn
Wait for the next version when that dev kits hits the web.
I wonder when smiling doofus will sue gizmodo for libel.
No offense, but isn't this book pretty stupid since its probably already outdated? Everything changes so quickly with different firmware upgrades and software updates that it seems pretty retarded to have a paper publication about it.
@jamesr242: Well, no, the only thing that's outdated is the hacking section, which changes constantly (and we have a website for that and other errata). Everything else is pretty much the same since the iPhone launch. Apple doesn't make sweeping changes to their UI and apps every round, they just make minor modifications.
Congrats Jason!

I had to Elf you. :)
Congrats! I would totally buy this book if I had an iPhone.
And, if I read books.
One question...is this book "pantsable"?
And next to that happy photo..an iMac ad..brilliant XD
What if we want to do everything with someone -else's- iPhone?
So dude, how long is the hacking section?
who is Adam Pash? He's not a Giz guy. What are his qualifications? What has he stuck down his pants!!
OK, now stick it down your pants.
All smoooooth like while you're at it.
"Buy my Book" "I need the money" "I'm so poor"
Nice. You also forgot to mention Adam Pash wrote it with you.
Unless I'm mistaken, certain copies of the book have already been pantsed. Pretty sure I saw the photographic evidence. The only way you can tell the pantsed copies from the non-pantsed is, um, not well known, I'm guessing.
Is it too late to have them add an alternate title?
"I just bought an iPhone. Now What?"
who buys these? anything in a book like this will be outdated in a few weeks. learn to love the google, people.
@iphonegroupie - adam pash writes for lifehacker.
Awesome Jason!
Nice to see some non-pants-related fame there dude! :D
will it blend?
Congratulations Jason! ;)
@notatoad: writes well for lifehacker.

or could at least pass for him for a few seconds...
I bought mine last night, 30 minutes before closing at B&N. Note to all, they give it to you free if you pants it while commando.
I hope you're wearing some sturdy undergear so that you don't get papercuts from all the people asking you to...you know.
the giz and books? the giz. and books.
wow. at least its a book of gadgetry!
