[WelMac] "Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music" released

[Jo 'Mangee' Booth]

mmm. Another good book - been skimming it this morning - even has  
iPod Nano bits - i wonder if the Oct 12 iPod announcement will bring  
any major upheavals? I doubt Steve will deliver, but i'd love a  
Bluetooth/Wifi video iPod phone... :-8
I highly recommend the Take Control series of ebooks - they are an  
excellent read and great references - at a very affordable price!

-Jo.

> Hi everyone,
>
> If you own an iPod or are thinking about purchasing one, our latest
> ebook - "Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music" - will help you
> make the most of your iPod experience. Although this ebook covers the
> basics of plugging in a new iPod and transferring music to it, most
> of its 128 pages focus on all the other cool stuff you can do with
> your iPod. And since an iPod is still fairly expensive, it's great to
> put it to work in ways other than playing music.
>
> The ebook's author, Steve Sande, has an infectious enthusiasm for all
> things iPod, and I've enjoyed learning how to transfer my calendar
> and contact information from Now Up-to-Date & Contact to the iPod,
> how to read long text-based ebooks on the iPod screen, and how to
> off-load photos from my digital camera to the iPod. Those are just my
> favorite topics... Steve also explains how to synch other calendar
> and contact programs to an iPod, make backups to an iPod, use an iPod
> as an emergency boot drive, display photos on a color-screen iPod
> from your computer, use an iPod to drive a slideshow presentation,
> turn an iPod into an alarm clock, play iPod games, and even install
> Linux on an iPod. On the audio side of life, Steve also discusses
> effective ways to record meetings or voice memos, listen to
> speech-synthesized ebooks, and move podcasts and an variety of
> audiobook formats to the iPod.
>
> If you're looking to buy a new or used iPod, a detailed appendix
> helps you wrap your head around all the different models by
> explaining the current members of the iPod family and providing a
> complete timeline of iPod releases.

> Although we were poised to release this ebook several weeks ago, we
> delayed slightly in order to incorporate the latest info about iTunes
> 5, the iPod nano, and - for the sake of .Mac users - Backup 3.
> Because the iPod and iTunes are used by many Windows users, the ebook
> includes cross-platform details, making it useful for Windows-using
> friends and colleagues.
