The Pocket Guide vs. The Rough Guide, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The iPad Pocket Guide (Peachpit Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
Although the iPad ships with a whole card's worth of information, some users will undoubtedly appreciate more detailed help and information about the latest hot item from Apple. First, no need to fret if you're short a ten. Simply go to the Apple site, and you'll find a generous complimentary manual online. On the other hand, it's understandable that some reactionary types will prefer a "hard copy" manual--one, moreover, that does not require toting 200 letter-size pages of instructions.Either one of these guides--the iPad Pocket Guide by Jeff Carlson or the Rough Guide by Peter Buckley--will do the trick--though you certainly won't require both (I ordered the 2nd only after forgetting that I'd already ordered the first). Unfortunately, the choice isn't easy. The prices are virtually equal, the size and weight of the two manuals are also practically identical. (Neither manual is quite small enough to fit into a back pants pocket, but that's merely a quibble: they're plenty... Read more

A Perfect Short Guide for iPad, By
This review is from: The iPad Pocket Guide (Peachpit Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
It has been said many times already, but it's worth repeating: iPad is one of the most revolutionary devices that has come around in years. On the surface it seem like a cross between a tablet PC, a net book and an iPod, but comparing it to any one of these other devices doesn't do the full justice. iPad is truly revolutionizing how we approach the use of computers, and it is bound to have an impact on all of the other computing devices. iPad is an always-on, easily accessible and intuitive computing platform. Even though the ease of use is one of its hallmarks, if you have never used an iPod or an iPhone you may have some initial difficulties with using it.This short pocket guide aims to take away the mystery behind iPad and help you make the most of it. The guide is written in an extremely accessible and to-the-point style, and from the very outset it takes you straight to the actual demonstrations of how to achieve certain actions on your iPad. It helps you navigate the... Read more

An excellent guide for the iPad owner, By
This review is from: The iPad Pocket Guide (Peachpit Pocket Guide) (Paperback)
The iPad is nothing like most other portable computers, and there are plenty of ins and outs to learn to use it to its best potential. Carlson covers the basics and more advanced topics in a clean, easy-to-understand style. He obviously knows his stuff (he was one of the first journalists to ever see an iPad in person), and his expertise comes through loud and clear. If you need to know how to use the iPad and its apps, this is a great, quick read that not only covers the basics, but gives you the tips and tricks that will bring you a long ways towards becoming an iPad expert. Highly recommended.
