TAILIEUCHUNG - Macworld iphone superguide

A million of you folks out there have bought an iPhone. (We’ve got a half-dozen of them in use around the Macworld offices, too.) And judging by Apple’s fresh new $399 price tag for the 8GB iPhone, a whole lot of people will be buying them in the coming months, too. | iPHONE SUPERGUIDE $ FOREWORD Apple’s iPhone isn’t just another phone. It’s a first-of-its-kind product for Apple—and potentially for the cellular phone industry as a whole. At the same time, it’s a full-featured iPod and the smallest Mac ever created—underneath that glass touch screen it’s running OS X. This is the second time Apple has tried to completely rethink the way we connect with our computers. The original Macintosh changed the world by providing a physical control (the mouse) that moved a cursor on a computer interface. But the iPhone does it one better. Now, instead of pushing around a mouse in order to make a disembodied arrow or hand move on the computer screen, you use your finger to do all the moving. When you touch a photo, Web page, or e-mail message on the iPhone and slide your finger across the screen, the image moves along with your touch, as if you were moving a physical object.

And over time, the iPhone will revolutionize the cellular phone industry by pressuring other phone makers and cellular providers to innovate more. That brings us to the subject of this book. Why in the world would Macworld publish an entire book about a device that’s supposed to be so intuitive? It’s a question I get a lot, including from people at goal—and it’s a reasonable one to shoot for—is to make an incredibly complex technology as easy to use as possible. And the iPhone is easy to use, which is one reason it’s so appealing. But make no mistake about it: the iPhone is a computer. And a full Web browser. And an e-mail client. It connects to Wi-Fi networks, and even
