    Excellent beginners tutorial
    While this book is not as comprehensive as some have wanted, I found it to be a nice beginners tutorial to writing iPhone applications.

    exactly what I wanted
    I was fairly new to Mac OS and iPhone development. I had done a little bit of Mac OS development in the past year.

    Neither book is a good starting point
    Both the current books on iPhone development fail to provide an “introduction” to development as I’d call it.

    A waste of time and money
    Where do these people learn to program? Just reading the examples in the book tells one how superficial and confused this author’s brain is. And don’t give me the “…

    Good reference but lacked a lot of usage examples
    I am new to Mac/iphone development and this book didn’t cover a lot of basics. I used a few other books for basics on Objective-C/Coca programming.

    A good, albeit spotty, introduction to the iPhone SDK
    This is the first iPhone SDK book that I have actually finished so it gets stars for that. It does a decent job of showing the ‘hard way’ to create and place UI elements.

    Lots of info, but some problems with the examples
    This book covers a lot of content in a small amount of pages. I’d prefer something more in depth, that also includes examples with Interface Builder.

    horrible
    Horrible horrible book. Rushes through the basics in a very confusing way. He uses words instead of pictures or screenshots to try to convey what you should be seeing on your…

    Great book! Really helped me get the concepts straight
    Full disclosure: I know the author online. But we get in occasional fights and I don’t have any interest in inflating his score.

The wireless industry is a notoriously tough nut to crack, and it's become pretty clear that the first iPhone wasn't about total domination so much as priming the market and making a good first impression with some very dissatisfied cellphone users. With the iPhone 3G, though, Apple's playing for keeps!
