Droid X: The Missing Manual Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Droid X is one of the latest smart phones to use Google's Android Operating System (OS). While I love Google's products, they're not the most user friendly, especially when it comes to super technical devices. This is where Droid X The Missing Manual comes in. It covers in detail all the major features of the phone including calling, texting, web, apps, maps, calendars and much more. Preston tells you what to press and when to press it, including what issues you may have along the way. Unless you are extremely tech savvy and happy to make mistakes, this book is a wise purchase and a time saver.
However, this book comes to market relatively late for a phone that has been out for 8 months. By now many people (including myself) have muddled their way through Droid's various features. If you've had the phone for more than 3-4 months then much of the information will be redundant to you. I found the most helpful sections to be the tip boxes, often finding quicker ways to perform day to day tasks, while the bulk of the text reaffirmed my experiences. I can highly recommend this book for new users, less so for the Droid initiated.

Teach Yourself VISUALLY iPad 2 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The iPad is such an intuitive device for anyone who has used any other MAC product, it doesn't even come with instructions. There is a quick start guide that tells you where the power button and a few other buttons are, but after that you're pretty much on your own. This is probably fine for most users who already love the MAC format and bought the iPad as soon as it came out. But as its popularity spreads, more individuals with less experience are likely to buy one-- and this is the perfect guide for them. Teach Yourself Visually iPad follows the format of the other books in this series-- lots of step-by-step illustrations to walk you through every aspect of the iPad. The chapters include Exploring the iPad (which explains every button, the home screen and basic settings), Understanding What You Can Do with Your iPad (which covers apps, music, videos, etc.), Configuring the iPad, Getting the Most from the Internet, etc. The chapters go into detail on how to get email, explains YouTube and other popular internet sites, how to download podcasts, etc. While these are things that many computer-savvy individuals won't need help with-- again, for someone just starting out this could be very helpful.
This is a great guide to give along with the iPad if you're thinking of buying an iPad as a gift to older parents or other individuals who are relatively new to computers. It will save you many phone calls and visits. Very clear instructions and very helpful. And it also serves as a great user's manual for people who prefer to read instructions rather than experiment or search them out online.
