Authors already prepping iPhone guides
Although the device in question has yet to be released, authors are already readying help books for the iPhone, spottings on Amazon have shown. Famed Houston Chronicle columnist Bob LeVitus and co-author Ed Baig are already said to be developing iPhone for Dummies, according to a new entry, and have also provided a brief outline explaining how it will help newcomers to the device, including using the camera and safeguarding private data.
Professional bloggers are also taking their first steps into writing books for Apple's new handset, the early product pages show: both Jason Chen from Gizmodo and Adam Pash of Lifehacker are reportedly involved in creating a book titled How to Do Everything with Your iPhone that should offer similar content.
Neither book has been formally acknowledged by their authors or received final covers, but should both be available later this year,based on Amazon's predicted ship dates. iPhone for Dummies should reach the online store by September 24th while its blogger-penned counterpart is expected on December 1st.
