"Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music." iPods are fairly expensive, and this ebook helps readers put their expensive gadgets to purposes other than playing music, such as using your iPod as a read-only PDA for calendar events and contacts, off-loading photos to it from a digital camera, backing up a computer to an iPod, setting an iPod to put you to sleep at night and wake you in the morning, and even keeping it ready as an emergency boot drive.
If you own an iPod or are thinking about purchasing one, the latest Take Control ebook - Steve Sande's "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 to help your expensive iPod earn its keep. Steve provides real-world advice about tasks like using your iPod as a read-only PDA for calendar events and contacts, off-loading photos to it from a digital camera, backing up your computer to an iPod, setting an iPod to put you to sleep at night and wake you in the morning, and even keeping it ready as an emergency boot drive.
Leaving no stone unturned, he also looks at other unusual iPod uses, such as giving presentations from an iPod, reading or listening to text-based ebooks, recording classes or meetings, and installing Linux on an iPod.
As a bonus for readers wanting to buy a new or used iPod, a detailed appendix helps sort out the members of the current iPod family and provides a complete timeline of iPod releases.
Like all Take Control ebooks, "Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music" comes with free minor updates that will keep it current with Apple's constant stream of iPod and iTunes announcements.
Steve Sande is editor of The Gizmo Ranch and CacheCaster, producing podcasts on a regular basis for both sites. He is President of Raven Solutions, LLC and operates the Podbus.com podcast hosting service. Steve also teaches the arcane art of writing software requirements as an instructor for The Center for Requirements Excellence.
