Product Author Bios

Jason O'Grady developed an affinity for Apple computers after using the original Lisa and in 1984 he got a 128k Mac. He started writing one of the first daily Apple online publications (O'Grady's PowerPage) in 1995. After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006 O'Grady set a precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the first amendment as the main stream media. He has written for the 8th and 9th editions of the MacBible (PeachPit Press) and has contributed to major Mac publications including a staff position at MacWEEK.

This handy Pocket Guide by mobile device expert Jason O'Grady will steer readers through  the secrets to using the latest phones on the market incorporating the Android platform. Some of the common features across the phones are expected to be: QWERTY or touch-screen keyboard, Google Search, Web browsing, Google Apps, IM/text/email, digital camera, YouTube videos, music player, Android Market, and more. With this essential companion readers will be mastering their Google Phones in no time!

4.0 out of 5 stars Help for the learning curve, February 26, 2010

This review is from: The Google Phone Pocket Guide (Paperback)
I purchased a Motorola Droid, which I love. This is my first smart phone so there is a definite learning curve. This book helped me to level out that learning curve. It may be a little bit outdated, not a lot, but with technology moving forward as quickly as it is it is difficult to find books that are right up to the moment. I think that it is a well written book and gave me the answers that I was looking for.
