Comments about oreilly iPhone: The Missing Manual, Fourth Edition:

There's lots of neat stuff, but my Verizon iPhone seems to have some differences, so that the book doesn't necessarily help on all points.I was hoping for a Verizon update here.

Comments about oreilly iPhone: The Missing Manual, Fourth Edition:

My wife used Second Edition with her iPhone 3G; now we are both using with our iPhone 4's. Makes learning curve much faster and easier. I should have also ordered Ebook version; doing so today. Well worth the extra price.
