>> Getting Started with the iPhone
>> An Introduction for Blind Users
>> By Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau
>> In braille, eBraille, ASCII text/Word, and DAISY formats, $18
>>
>> The iPhone. You know you want one.
>>
>> You can use your iPhone to check email and Twitter, listen to music, 
>> listen
>> to radio programs from faraway places, read eBooks, verify your walking 
>> or
>> driving location, pay bills and transfer funds, monitor the weather 
>> across
>> the planet, time recipes, awaken to the alarm clock, be reminded of
>> appointments, exchange text messages, play a wide variety of games, play 
>> the
>> auto harp and ocarina, fight with a light saber that makes different 
>> sounds
>> as you move your hand around, scan bar codes, make multi-track 
>> recordings,
>> cure a headache - even to make and receive telephone calls! You'll be 
>> blown
>> away by the power and flexibility of this device. To be able to do so 
>> much
>> with a gadget that fits into a pocket is absolutely amazing. And it's
>> accessible out of the  box!
>>
>> In Getting Started with the iPhone, authors Anna Dresner and Dean 
>> Martineau
>> show you what's possible on the iPhone and get you up and running.
>>
>> The book is divided into four main parts. Part 1 tells you what you need 
>> to
>> know before you can start using your iPhone: advice on purchasing an 
>> iPhone
>> and getting it ready to use.
>>
>> In Part 2 you'll turn on your iPhone and begin to use it. You'll explore 
>> the
>> home screen, configure basic settings, make phone calls, and type using 
>> the
>> on-screen keyboard, a Bluetooth keyboard, and a braille display keyboard.
>>
>> Part 3 goes through the wide variety of apps that come with the phone, 
>> and
>> shows how to purchase apps, music, and other fun content.
>>
>> Finally, Part 4 includes a journal Anna wrote as she learned to use the
>> iPhone. It will give you an idea of what it's like to use an iPhone and 
>> how
>> you might go about learning new apps.
>>
>> Appendix A compiles all the gestures - specific ways of touching the 
>> iPhone
>> screen. Appendix B includes answers to frequently asked questions, and
>> Appendix C lists resources you can use to learn more.
>>
>> Read the complete table of contents at:
>> http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/IPHONE.html
>>
>>
>> While this book focuses on the iPhone, most of it also applies to the 
>> iPod
>> Touch, and much of it applies to the iPad.
>>
>> And don't forget - in honor of Louis Braille's birthday this month, order
>> anything before February 4th and you'll be automatically entered to win a
>> basket of Louis goodies. Order by phone, fax, mail, or website, and you
>> could win!
