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.

4.0 out of 5 stars 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.
