Customer Review: Something's Gone Terribly Wrong Here

The product is an iPod dock. The reviews and descritions are for a book on Linux and a guide to cooking with marijuana. What can I say? It doesn't inspire confidence.

Customer Review: 2 stars because i don't use it much

i bought this book with ambitions of teaching myself linux internals or being able to read the print version of the source for reference. if find myself frequenting online groups and threads for more and better answers than the book provides. also the kernel is older than the current 2.4x. in particular i was looking for CIFS vfs stuff which wasn't in this at all (but is in 2.4x).

so two stars because i haven't been able to use it much. others may find it more relevant in their "core" areas.

Code samples and screenshots help punctuate the numerous tips and tricks in this book.”

â??Jacqui Cheng, Associate Editor, Ars Technica

â??Daniel Pasco, Lead Developer and CEO, Black Pixel Luminance

“The iPhone Developer’s Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK should be the first resource for the beginning iPhone programmer, and is the best supplemental material to Apple’s own documentation.”

“Erica’s book is a truly great resource for Cocoa Touch developers. This book goes far beyond the documentation on Apple’s Web site, and she includes methods that give the developer a deeper understanding of the iPhone OS, by letting them glimpse at what’s going on behind the scenes on this incredible mobile platform.”

Customer Review: Must have

Excellent book with many sample code. I hope the author prepares a newer edition with more recipes.

Customer Review: Impractical - not the right way to get your feet wet with the iPhone

One change in the way this book is written would make a world of difference:
Use the classes and views in the way that they are supposed to.
Putting every line of code in the main goes against the very grain of the programming model and makes the reader waste a LOT of time in trying to adapt the examples in the book to anything that could be created in real life.
Object Oriented programming is not new, I have seen many books resolve the issue of displaying classes before.
On top of being unable to draw any use from this book, I feel cheated by the author and I feel like the only reason why she wrote it this way is to be able to send the book to print quickly and cash in on all the fools like me who are trying to learn how to program the iPhone early on.

Listen to rich, distortion-free sound from your iPhone without missing any calls with the Altec Lansing T612 Digital Speaker for iPod and iPhone. Designed to complement the iPhone and certified to meet all "Works with iPhone" and "Works with iPhone 3G" requirements, the T612 won't pick up any of the annoying hum that mobile phones often emit, meaning you can leave your iPhone on and not in airplane mode.

The Altec Lansing T612 Speaker: is specially shielded to complement the iPhone, letting you leave your iPhone on while playing music; provides full-range sound from deep bass to sterling highs; fills music throughout the room with 60 Watts of power; and includes a wireless remote.

XdB bass-enhancement gives deep powerful bass without a subwoofer. View larger.

Big, Full-Bodied Sound
Employing four specially engineered drivers (two 3-inch full-range drivers and two silkdome 1-inch tweeters), the T612 offers smooth, rich sound through the full audio spectrum. Even without a subwoofer, the bass is deep and powerful, thanks to the XdB bass-enhancement technology. The T612 provides a system response from 60 Hz to 20 kHz.

The built-in amplification provides 60 Watts of power RMS (120 Watts Peak), enough power to fill an entire room with dynamic music.

No More Mobile Interference
Unlike most speaker systems, the T612 is shielded from the noise emitted by mobile phones. The upshot is that you won't miss any phone calls because you don't need to put your iPhone in airplane mode just to listen to your music. When you do receive a call, the T612 will automatically pause the music to ensure that you hear your call.

Elegant, Versatile Design
With a minimalist and elegant silver-and-black design, the T612 will look great placed on a table in your living room or mounted on the wall. (A wall-mounting kit is available separately.) A built-in dock places your iPhone or dockable iPod at an easy-to-see angle in the center of the system while charging it. Also, an auxiliary stereo input lets you connect another MP3 or CD player to the system.

A wireless remote is included, allowing you to control such functions as track forward/back, volume, and bass/treble levels from across the room.

The Altec Lansing T612 is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
T612 speaker system, remote control with battery, 3.5mm stereo cable, power supply, user manual and quick connect guide.

The T612 lets you leave your phone on while listening to music so you won't miss any calls.

Customer Review: Nice Dock

I don't have an iPhone yet, but will next year. So I wanted something that I could use with a 3G as well as my current iPod 5th Gen. I had purchased a Sony clock radio dock but the sound was pretty poor. This Altec Lansing sounds much, much better. So I guess I'll keep the clock separate. It has very deep bass and a good overall tone. At the time of this review, Altec Lansing was offering a free wall mount bracket for just a few dollars shipping. There was an insert in the dock that I had to remove for the iPod (maybe the iPhone insert?). Nice dock, and the best I have heard sound quality wise. I don't buy Bose, so I have no idea about that unit.

Customer Review: response to criticisms

The Altec Lansing digital speaker indeed does work with the iphone even if when the iphone is first docked it states it doesn't. When it says would you like to turn on airplane mode simply push no and play your tunes. It will work fine. This quirk like has some thing to do with differences between the first and second iterations of the iphone itself. This is a good value for the price and its built to last and very rugged. Best of all it's one sale now.

Customer Review: Awful!!!

I received this player 10 days ago, (I have a Sansa View, wonderful), but I wanted something with a bigger screen for photos and videos. From the moment I held it I knew it was bad. Cheaply made, the on-off button stuck on the hold position was rattling loose, making a funny noise, screen poorly lit and the instruction manual written in second grade english. I cannot even give it as a gift, I would be too embarrased. I see the product has been made in China for the company that sells it.

Customer Review: Good customer service but product lacking

I was looking for a higher-capacity MP3 player (I still had a 256 MB) but wanted to play video too. So I saw this one and couldn't pass up the price and 16 GB capacity, so I took the risk.

Customer service was good, I emailed the supplier Myoutlet21 and they gave me the order status and the USPS tracking number.

I was originally very disappointed with this product. I messed with it for hours trying to get it to recognize an avi file, which another reviewer said works best. I was almost ready to send it back when I experimented with other file types. The product is advertised as being able to handle avi, rm, rmvb, and flv files. However, mine does not play avi files, but plays rm and flv files. I did not check rmvb files since I have no conversion tool for this.

For audio, the product has no problems with mp3 and wma files. These were the only two audio file formats I checked.

When playing rm files, the video is very choppy so that the sound is out of sync with the picture. Perhaps the product needs more memory or processing power. After experimentation I noticed that flv files are only about 25% the size of rm files. The smaller file size of flv plays OK on the product. There is a good free online conversion tool to create flv files at http://www.zamzar.com.

The earbuds that came with it are junk, so I use my old ones.

The battery capacity appears to be very short. There is no way it could play video for five hours as advertised. Hopefully this is just because the battery is new, and hopefully it will improve with use.

I checked out the FM radio tuner on the product and it works OK.

Overall, customer service was good but the product is lacking.

Customer Review: Good, but not complete!

I consider this book a good introduction to the iPhone as an "intructions manual". However, I do not consider that this book covers issues "outside the box". Things to consider for future editions should include:

1) Pros and cons of purchasing the iPhone at an Apple Store, ATT Store, or super chain stores. Considering that the price is the same at all of these places, I do not see a reason to purchase it at any other place than the Apple Store, if there is one near by. You cannot beat the support from the knowledgable staff at the Apple Store.

2) Top accessories to consider purchasing. The book makes no mention of screen protectors, carrying cases, necessary connections with the car stereo, etc.

3) There is no mention on how to transfer data from other PDAs (Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Black Berry) into the iPhone.

Hopefully these will be included in future editions.

Customer Review: iPhone Info You Need to Know

I am a tech geek and I do buy Dummies books because for some items, Wiley is the only publisher that will issues guides for items I am looking for. This book is an excellent example. iPhone for Dummies covers the original iPhone, NOT the 3G version. That said, it is still a great read. I bought this book because I was interested in an iPod Touch which is an iPhone without the phone. This is an easy to read, fun and informative book with lots of usage tips. There are wonderful, full color shots that show off the screen and features of the iPhone. Many of the gripes about missing features located at the end of the book, were added to the new 3G version. Grab the 3G version of this book when it comes out. This book will give you inside tips that aren't found in the manual. It is helpful for iPod Touch users as well. Quick start guides are one thing, but great tips make your device much easier to use. I have a co-worker who has an original iPhone and he was amazed that I knew more about his device than he did.
