Unleash your iPhone and take it to the limit using secret tips and techniques from gadget hacker Erica Sadun. Fast and fun to read, Taking Your iPhone to the Max details the best, and undocumented, tricks and offers an efficient and enjoyable introduction to the iPhone. It begins with iPhone basics and then uncovers the iPhone's hidden potential, detailing such topics as how to connect to a TV, get contract-free VOIP, and hack OS X so it will run applications on the iPhone. Taking Your iPhone to the Max even offers tips on where to get the best and cheapest iPhone accessories.

Erica Sadun holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. She has written, co-written, and contributed to almost two dozen books about technology, particularly in the areas of programming, digital video, and digital photography. An unrepentant geek, Sadun has never met a gadget she didn't need. Her checkered past includes run-ins with NeXT, Newton, and a vast myriad of both successful and unsuccessful technologies. When not writing, she and her geek husband parent three adorable geeks-in-training, who regard their parents with restrained bemusement. Eight Ways to Get the Most out of Your Zune, the O'Reilly shortcut, and Modding Mac OS X, also from O'Reilly, are her latest books. She also wrote Taking Your iPhone to the Max.
