will rival your desktop computer. This cunning little handbook is

The product approach for iPhone and iPod Touch is right out of the
Apple playbook: control the software, control the hardware, and use
the style and minimalist design that made iPod and iMac so
appealing. But it's an open hardware world today, and we want
more from these devices. iPhone Hacks gives you exactly that: new

Apple's close-to-the-vest constraints.

device. Learn all the tips and techniques to unleash little-known
features, find (and create!) great web-based applications for it,
and unshackle it to run everything from network utilities to video
game emulators -- all without impairing the toaster-like simplicity
of this Apple appliance.
