This is the part in which I’m supposed to introduce the iPod touch and tell you why I wrote this book, but frankly, I’m so blown away by the iPod touch and all it can do that all I want to do is get you started with it.
Yes, I have a history with iPods: I wrote iPod & iTunes For Dummies, which I recommend for studying iTunes more closely. iTunes is the free software that controls the iPod touch from your computer. I even wrote an application for the iPhone and iPod touch, called Tony’s Tips for iPhone Users. But enough about that: Obviously I’m a true fan of the iPod line, and I think you should be too! So, on with the book!
The ultimate beginner guide to the iPod touch—completely updated and in full-color!
The iPod touch combines three great products—a widescreen iPod with touch controls, a portable game console, and a breakthrough Internet device—into one small and lightweight device. With this new edition, bestselling author Tony Bove walks you through powering up your iPod touch, personalizing it, establishing a Wi-Fi connection, and synchronizing your data. You’ll explore how to surf the web, rent movies, buy songs, send and receive e-mail, get directions, check stocks, organize photos, watch videos, keep a calendar, and much more. Plus, you’ll learn how to access hundreds of thousands of apps that help you do even more with your iPod touch.
